Designing and Crafting Historical Reproduction Crown Molding

Project: Modern Colonial, Episode 12, Part 1



Brent Hull from Hull Historical Millwork is on-site to talk about the WindsorONE crown moldings featured in the dining room. To complete the molding installation, carpenter Bob Ryley and crew set up shop. The installation of the five-piece crown molding is an advanced carpentry project, which Ryley demonstrates.

With traditional woodworking and reproduction craftwork in mind, Bob visits Robert Adam, an instructor at the North Bennet Street School to talk about the school's preservation carpentry program. Adam and student Nick Beasley join Bob back at the project house to handcraft the fireplace molding with traditional hand planes.
