Looks very good. This type of wall treatment I seem to remember seeing in
some old farm houses, without the top piece. Probably not called Wainscot,
but reminds me very much of styles I have seen in very old farm house's
before.

I'm not sure what they call it, but it is an old style. The top piece
(narrow shelf) is for displaying stuff. I see more and more of it going in,
seems to be a new trend.

Thanks,

I like the way you handled the rounded corner. That style of drywalling
is very prevalent here in AZ.

Thanks, but my problem is another customer wants a similar application but
they want me to come around that wall that has the curved edge treatment
and encase the door opening. I posted my problem in rec.woodworking. But
I'm having a hard time trying to explain what the customer wants or folks
aren't understanding what I'm trying ask. Think its a FAILURE TO
COMMUNICATE on my side. How do I make that curve in wood or MDF?

As I said, that style of drywall is very prevalent here in AZ. I can't
think of ever seeing that curve cased. The only things even close would be
the rounded archways with curved molding where the molding might have a
roundover. Does your customer have any style or home decor magazines that
show such an application?

No this customer is pretty clueless. And I told her I could incase it but
with a right angle. She didn't think that's what she wanted. I told her I
would get back to her when I figured out how to do it. I might end up
having to make it. Sometimes these people have more money than BRAINS! But
its custom work so $$$$ can be charged.

There are corner mouldings available at the Borgs that are made to fit
the rounded drywall corners. Predrilling before nailing is a must. My
house has the rounded corners, but the base moulding wraps around the
corner with a small pieces or the straight base set at 45 degrees, all
the cuts being 22.5 degrees. Builders apparently do the fine finishing
on the top edge with caulk...

If they are just after a roundover on the casing two methods come
to mind.

Use a large roundover bit on built up MDF or solid stock. These
are readily available to at least 1 1/4" radius.

Build 3/4" casement so inside corners just touch and use 3/4" 1/4
round at the joint.

yeah that was my thinking to. I figured I'd have to make them. Its a painted
application so should not be to big a deal. But then someone said they sell
some kind of moldings at the borg. I have never seen this but I never
really looked for it either. If I don't need it I don't window shop. I'll
have to check out HD or Lowes. Make a trip to the my supplier and see what
they got. This is the first time I've been asked to build this and it was a
bit of a brain teaser.

While I claim no rights to being in your level of capability my gut reaction
would be 3/4 round molding between the baseboard and your top rail, with
workmanship I see in these pictures I assume you could make the top rail fit
around the curved corner.

Sorry probably not much help.

Yeah the top rail should not be a problem. I'm just worried about the curved
part of the wall. It's a real brain teaser for me. I'm just thinking about
butt jointing to pieces and using a large round over bit.
btw it was not that big a deal building that room. When you have been doing
this kind of work for awhile you pick up ideas that make things easier and
faster.

You might want to have a look at my website for other stuff I've done.

Okay maybe I'm being obtuse, but couldn't you bring the beadboard or what
ever material you used for wainscot as close to the edge as possible then
add 3/4 round molding, the gap top and bottom should be hidden if the wall
side of the 3/4 isn't available for bullnose corners by the top rail and the
baseboard.

You may not think it's a big deal building that room, but even if I'm a
novice at this stuff I can still spot workmanship. Without sounding corny
that type of workmanship like my grandfathers, yours, others in the group,
Norm etc have been what always made me want to learn woodworking, I just
never had the time until I was forced into retirement by health issues.
