   Use stock moldings, rip dadoes on the table saw or glue rippers to the bases to create the dadoes.   You can also combine two or more profiles for interesting built up moldings.  If you want to get even more interesting try some hand carved texture strips or do a little scorching and wire brushing for the driftwood look.  Distressing emphasized with dark glazes will add another layer of interest.

   Bigfoot,

   It has been my home since 94, having moved here from NJ. Love it, would never move again.

   I take it from the context of your message you no longer live here.Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral. Frank Lloyd Wright
