I had a new screen door put in today, part of my sprucing up my little house.
I want to cut and build my own outdoor entranceway moldings around screen door.
Its a tiny home, so it will be nothing elaborate,(ofcourse, Im making it, it will be simple) Ill pick up a router bit to try some fluting, and build up a few pieces of wood on top to make a header(I believe its called a header)
I also want to put 2 4x4 or 5x5 blocks on top of fluted molding and sides of header, and I want to have small rosettes cut in the blocks.
Rosette bits start around 50, plus shipping, for 2 blocks, its just ridiculous for me to spend the money.
Any tips or suggestion if I put a 4x4 block into the lathe and try(using 1/4 inch bowl gouge)turning a few circles on face? I figured Id mark with marker each block so the circle is in same spot on each one, maybe turn 3 circles.
