Here are a few pictures, from the past couple of days, of the sequence of making moldings and of them put up. I don’t know how large fancy moldings are made but this was my solution to doing it. The ogee’s are made with one router bit then stacked on top of each other. The large partial cove moldings are made with Rockler’s table saw crown molding maker. It is a nicely made jig that lets you set up your table saw to cut into wood using the round blade to gouge out a large cove in a board. Cut the inside curve down the middle and you’ve got two tall coves.
I’m sure this thing isn’t officially made this way, but not knowing how it’s done it was a problem to solve. Lot’s of fun, lots of work for sure.

All of the moldings cut, ready to glue together

The top and lower molding glued up. Notice the plywood filler piece in the top molding.

put together as they’ll be stacked when put up.

I sprayed them with poly to match the cabinets I had made previously. Here’s two views of them up. from the left and right. New light over the sink too. LED…. takes just a few watts, very bright, and will last 22,000 hrs. Slowly converting to almost all LED with a few CFL’s.
Anyone know what style this would be called? Or does it even fit into a style category?
.
Eventually there will be a carved sort of medallion that will go on the flat spot between the moldings over the sink.
