A stock item from any decent timber merchant I would have thought.

Yes, but at a price which quickly pays for the cutters (router or
spindle).

The cost of 6" x 1" skirting wasn't significantly more than 6" x 1"
PAR last time I looked. I tend to use MDF mouldings these days

I can't quite bring myself to put MDF in for reasons I am not sure are
entirely rational.

I'd call it semi-rational :-) To my eye mdf has a "dead" look, no matter
how much paint you put on it. Something to do with the surface being
totally uniform I suppose.

The price difference in my local merchants is in the
£4 to £5 region per lin m (+ VAT) over the PAR price for the 9" used
upstairs. It's enough for me, but then I have the machines anyway.

That's a lot considering the PAR is machined on 4 sides as well. Doesn't
really take any longer to machine a stock moulding in bulk.
