Today I decided to work on the sill for the moulding and the moulding itself. This assembly visually joins the base to the waist. We had planned to create a sill, or ledge, with a smaller moulding underneath and the larger cove moulding on top. But I decided to forego all that and showcase only the cove moulding. You may remember, it took me several days to hand-plane the large cove moulding using an antique hand-plane. I didn't have any extra length and have been dreading the day I cut the cove moulding to fit. But with the assistance of my wife and a miter saw and box, we got it right the first time. The front and two side cove moldings are cut. I'll still need to fasten it down, and have to build at least a second cove moulding for the top, but it was a great day in the workshop! p.s. You may recall that the door, and its fastenings, have been built but it is sitting on the sidelines out of harms way for now. Click on photos to enlarge and enjoy!
