Door Casing for Arches
Hi All,
I need to curve some door trim and molding to fit an opening with an arched top. The arch is the eyebrow type and has a radius of about 20". The finish door opening is 32" wide. The molding is the standard colonial design, about 2-1/4" wide by 3/4" thick. The trim for the door opening is 4-1/2" wide by 3/4" thick, and the door stop is 1-1/4" wide by 1/4" thick. I want to use MDF stock. What are some methods to fit the door frame and casing to the arch? Should I make a series of cross cuts (but not all the way through) so that the stock will bend, and then spackle and sand? Or should I rip the stock into thin strips, bend them on a form, and glue together? Other ideas??? Thanx, Key Bored |
