Tracing of profile:

I need about thirteen feet of this, but I don't know what it is. The
best the guys at our local *real* lumberyard (i.e. not a big box
retailer) can do is a brick mould that is the right width, but
noticeably thinner with a diferent profile -- close enough that with
the original moulding on one end of the house, and that stuff on the
other end, nobody will ever notice, but definitely not anywhere
nearly close enough to mix on the *same* gable end.

Thus the only alternative so far, if I can't find anything to match
this, is to replace *all* the moulding on that gable end, about 34
feet of it, with the brick mould from the local yard. At six bucks a
foot.

I'm not liking that idea too much, and I'd welcome better ones.

I have a shaper, and a 2.5HP table-mounted router, so am not opposed
to making it myself
if I can find an appropriate cutter. I think I can mill my own from
poplar, soft maple, or something similar for around two dollars a
foot -- which would make me more comfortable
with replacing all 34 feet.

Anybody know what this moulding profile is called? Or where I can get
it? Or where I can find
a shaper cutter or router bit that will make a similar profile?

Thanks in advance.

I just never understand why people can't accept that any given profile might
cost them some money to replicate - either by buying new material (close
enough), ot by spending money on cutters. Geeze - do you really think there
is everything out there for everything you have? Just buy the new pieces.
