Matching trim profile - Pinocchio - 05-24-2017
I am looking to match the profile of this trim. Specifically the rounded piece at the top. The idea is to use flat stock for the bottom and possibly use a router bit or combination of router bits to match the rounded profile. Problem is I'm not familiar with router bits. Any ideas what kind I would need to get something close? From my research it looks to be an edge bead of some kind, but on the piece I am trying to match at the bottom of the half circle is a sharp v groove, not a square which I see with most edge bead bits.
Any suggestions or different methods would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hmm. Can't really make out what you need. What's the white stuff, filler?

I agree with Steve you need to show the profile not the umpteen coats of paint that hide it
There are hints of detail in it the piece will determine how you proceed not just the cutters

Yea, the white stuff is many layers of paint. I don't have a stripped version of it. The profile is very simple, you can get the basic gist of it by the darkish line between the paint and wood. The bottom under the curve is perfectly straight down. It might look like there is other detail going on, but there isn't. I'm really just looking to replicate the top rounded part. I can try to take another photo of it stripped when I get a second, but I was really just trying to get a feel for what bits/solution might be needed.

Can you cut if off square and take a photo of the end? Put a tape measure in the photo, too. That would help - a lot.

that little flat at the base of the quirk is going to be a bear without doing it in a molder or cutting it and gluing it back together you might do it on a TS then finish with a router
I suspect from the looks of it it was cut with molding planes

Jteneyck, this photo is a photo of the squared off end. Unless you mean a clean cut removing the paint on the edge. It's 1 1/4" thick.
RE: Matching trim profile - Pinocchio - 05-24-2017
Jgrout, are there any non specialty router bits that could replicate a close to similar look? If so, what type of bit would I be looking for?
If I have to replicate it without a router, what's the best approach for getting that round over?

I see. No, actually, I don't, so I'm of no help to you.

I'm not really positive what you are trying to accomplish.... Depending on how many you need to make. I'm thinking a coping saw, a chisel, a file and a sanding block and you can copy that pretty quickly.
