Hello everyone,
I am in the trim stage of making my 1970's house look like it was built 100
years ago.
Here is a pic of my first trimmed out window,
http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/window%20trim.jpg
With a shot of the detail,
http://www.federatedtool.com/david/img/window%20detail.jpg
The ceiling in the bathroom is very low, in the rest of the house the board
between the top fillet and the top trim will be 4" and not 3/4"
I started with rough sawn boards and milled everything myself.
One window down, dozens of windows and doors to do....
Thank you for looking,
David.

Very, very nice!
Do you need to seal the cherry some how or do you just leave it and let it age
gracefully?

...nice work indeed! The real problem is not in the woodwork, but how
it lays against the ceiling. I run into this kind of thing, in the
micro, when running crown and the best fix is to float the ceiling in
to the trimwork...that gets costly, so I usually end up caulking it
all in, then the *painting* becomes the problem (as it always is...how
many times have I heard a painter say, "...it's OK, we'll make it look
good!" ...and usually *I'm* the painter, LOL). Yours looks to be
gapping a little much for caulk, though...

Nice work, Dave. Looks great. (It helps that you're using my absolute
favourite wood and finish.)
Very nice David, the only problem I see is painting that wall another color
if you ever decide to do so. LOL.

Rugh-Roh - I see a gap there on the right side of the crown. Not to worry
though, it's just a small one. A good coat of a nice latex paint will fill
that in just fine. I'd suggest something in a mauve or maybe a gentle
earthtone. I'm kinda partial to the earthtones because they create the
feeling of real things like wood. I wouldn't suggest just any latex though.
Spend the extra $2.00 per gallon and get the good stuff - you'll be rewarded
in the end. Oh yeah, another hint - always wash your foam pads out
thoroughly - you can get many uses out of them if you pay attention to some
simple cleaning details.
What? You expected a real compliment? Ok - I can do that... it really is
nice work. Really.

Beautiful work.
Making your own moldings always ends up looking better than store bought.
Do you glue the corners of the crown or tack them in place? They are
perfect.

The trim is just fitted in place for now, it will be finished. I will be
testing some finishes in the next few days. As the late Paul Rad. would say,
practice on some scrap, or you are practicing on your project.
