How to match this moulding?
wrote:
Hi,
The previous owner cut part of the crown moulding so he could fit
built in closets. Now the closets are gone (good riddance) and I
would like to repair the moulding. Also, I'm adding an internal door
that I would like to have the same moulding. The following is not a
good picture, but you can tell the shape:

What is my best strategy for finding moulding like that? I have
visited every single lumber yard and every mill shop in the 10 mile
radius (I'm in Philly) with now luck. One mill shop said they would
do it for $200 + $40/lf. Obviously, this is unaffordable.
1. Buy router bit(s) and cut it
2. Make a mold from existing and cast it
