We are remodeling our master bedroom and installing new flooring.
There are currently rough hewn cedar baseboards and door trim in place (well, until yesterday).
My wife hates the rough hewn look, but I LOVE the fact that they are real wood and cedar.
Cedar helps discourage bugs, in case you didn't know. We really don't have many bug issues, despite being in the bug capital of the US.
I can't imagine how expensive buying new cedar might be.
I've planed off the roughness, and used a roundover bit to make workable door frames that almost exactly match the ones at Lowes/HD.
What I'm having trouble finding is a router bit that approximates the gentle slope of a "standard" baseboard.
I've also seen it called "clamshell", but all I get when I search any of those terms along with "router" bit is pictures of the plain molding, and pictures of bits for more complex molding.
Any of you guys that do woodwork know what I need, what it's called and/or where I can get one?
