Custom Lumber


One of the joys of a 100 year old house is getting to custom fabricate every piece of wood that goes into a project. We needed to wrap the baseboard around the new arch; the old baseboard stopped short at where the old trim was. The big board is a 1x8 ripped down to 5-3/4, and the upper piece was a 1x3 ripped to 1-7/8 with a 16° bevel and 3/16 radii. Nerve wracking work on our 30 year old $100 Sears table saw, but rewarding to see it in the end.
