Have a job coming up where the customer wants to encase his coved
doorways that separate one room from another. The doorways are
already coved in drywall and measure about 8' across, the radius is
fairly large. What would you guys use to encase this upper section of
the doorway. Plywood kerf in back or bent 1/8 - 1/4" Masonite? The
encasement will be painted..

Thanks,
Rich

I'd use3/8" bendable plywood and add a 1/8 birch door skin for paint
