Can't find Ask This Old House crown moulding?

4 years ago

I have been looking for crown moulding for awhile now. I saw some on yesterday's Ask This Old House's episode: Season 20 episode 35. I think it would be perfect :^) I need to find out how to get some.....ideas? Thank you!

    Where have you been looking?

    Paint or stain grade?

    How much do you need?

    Where are you located?

    Many lumberyards, not box stores will have a catalog of molding profiles that they can run or order for you. That particular molding looks built-up to me, not a single profile.

    Thank you for answering.

    We live outside Richmond, Virginia in a 150ish year old home. My kitchen has been finished except for crown moulding for 4 years- originally it was out back, not included in the original footprint ; therefore, I don't have a " go- by" I've been looking for the "perfect" crown for awhile ;^) I've looked online, at local independent lumberyards like Siewers and Big boxes. I am more than willing to have cutters made to mill ourselves or purchase poplar for paint grade.

    It's easiest for the man who makes the cutters for us to have an example. Come to think of it, he makes cutters for TOH. Guess I'll contact him Monday.

    Might be nice to just find it milled to save a step :^) DH travels a lot for work.

    Thank you Palimpsest ;^)

    I wondered that too, being 2 parts. I'll contact Siewers Monday too. One of the guys might be able to point me in the right direction :^) we just had them run special picture mould.

    Two part will also be way cheaper

    I agree it's most likely a multi-piece assembly--maybe three piece. The main moulding is a bed mould not a crown.

    @heatheron40 - Google "UC51 Crown moulding" and see if that is close enough for you.

    I think uc51 might be a contender! Thank you bry911 :^)

    CharlesRosshomes. Had no idea that was a bed mould.

    Thank you both for aiming me in the right direction!

    I'm determined to find something before this Christmas;^)

    Awesome. Thank you! We often buy from them also. I guess I just didn't think to "build" it. Helps to know the names too!
