? Name this molding profile ?

I could use some help IDing this molding and/or the router bit I'd
need to create it.
3/4" x 3/8" decorative, similar to Astragal, but not.
Help keep my wife off my back.
TIA -Bart

I found that profile at http://www.moldingknives.com/ on page 73 of
their catalog. They list it as "shelf edge"

How much do you have to do? I'd rough it out with a router and finish
it with a couple of wood molding planes.

Thanks for the help Gentlemen.

I'm thinking that this might get me close: Probably #3205

Woodmaster tools sells this profile for their molders (sorry, not a
router shape.) They call it a shelf edge or screen mould.
http://www.woodmastertools.com/PDFs/Shelf_Screen.pdf

1. You might search on those terms to see if you can fnd a router bit
in that profile (not likely I think).

2. You could make it from multiple passes using a half round and a
thumbnail (table edge) profile. I'd probably run the thumbnail cuts
along the bottom edges first, then come back with the half round or
two quarter round passes.

3. You could buy the knife profile and let me run it for you in my
Woodmaster (in Livermore California) or get someone else to do the
same.

Very cool thought. You could just cut two rabbits and then use a block
plane to do the round offs.

Yep, or keep eyes open on eBay and at estate sales. The old wood
molding planes are everywhere and they're still reasonably priced for
the most part.

That's one of the things that's "new and improved" - NOT! The old
timer's had a collection of molding planes that would work to build up
pretty much any profile. They'd grab one off of the shelf and it
would be good to go. No setting up and gauging router bits and such.
The "improvement" from the molding planes was the Stanley 55, which
was a "one tool, annoy everybody" type of tool. It took the worst
aspects of hand work and flexible use tools, and blended them into
something with an infinitely wide plane mouth. I've got a couple, but
I'm not using them for anything.

If you're doing production runs every day, production tools are way
faster, but most people aren't doing production runs, and when it
comes time to match a molding the molding planes more than hold their
own in daily usage.

Try
http://www.paxtonwood.com/Profiles.aspx

There are many other online sources as well.

Probably could come pretty close w/ two passes w/ base/shoe mold or
quarter-round and one w/ bead. Unless have to actually butt directly
against an existing, should be able to come close enough I'd think.
