Hi everybody,
I could use some help figuring out how to shape an edge the way I want it.
In FWW No. 168 Feb. 04 on page 32, there is a picture of a small cabinet. The plinth of the cabinet and what seems like the applied molding at the top look like a classical roman ogee. From what it seems to me the molding at the bottom (on the plinth) is not an applied one. It looks like the stock is 7/8 in. From what I’ve seen the 1/4 and 1/2 shank classical roman ogg bits dont have a large enough diameter to be able to cut such thick stock with out leaving significant unshaped material at the edge away from the bit.
Is it an applied molding or not? and with which bit is it done?
I am using this small cabinet’s design as a guide line to an entertainment center I am building.
Thanks for the help.

I've had a look at the photo. It looks like a two piece applied moulding to me. Based on the detail for another Lonnie Bird cabinet, what Lonnie has done is build an oversize base for the cabinet to sit on. He has then "filled-in" the gap with two applied mouldings one sitting on top of the other. The technique of fitting the mouldings to the cabinet is shown in Heirloom Tool Chest FWW #169 pp.36
