Default 9inch tall skirting board

I need to source some 9inch skirting board for a victorian house I am doing
up. My ex-gf decided to destroy what was previously in the rooms (handy),
and now it seems that most builders merchants and the like only do up to
about 170mm tall.

I am not quite sure what design I am after yet, but I would almost settle
for anything as long as the height was correct and it was not too plane
looking.

Is it possible to make your own, or simply not worth the effort? I was
wondering if you can get a fancy adjustable plane and a number of
differentlfashioned blades? I know it might not be the faster way to get
some, but it might look best in the long run.

Someone suggested buying some 170mm stuff and stucking a piece of wood along
the bottom of it, which seems a bit like a cop out to me.....

Any comments most welcome.

Thanks,
Matt
