Default Dressing up curved plywood edges

I used iron-on edge banding for the CD shelves, which worked out pretty

mind that milling my own strips is not a possibility. I think I've seen
rectangular profile molding and I'm sure I could just look up what's
available But I have gotten some ideas from this group in the past;
ideas I never would have thought of. So have at it. Things simple enough
to match my modest skills preferred.


You say milling is not a possibility. What tools do you have available?
Router? Router table?

In pine, there is some molding available at the big box stores, but not
so easy to find other woods.

What I would do is run a board through the router table putting on the
profile of my choice. Then I'd cut it off on the table saw thin enough
to bend around the shelf edge. Repeat as necessary to get enough
material for the job.
