After 39 years of working with amazing people, and enjoying the art of Custom Moulding, I am retiring.
To all my followers and life long friends I wish you the very best with God’s blessings and I hope all your dreams come true.

"Returns" look best when they follow the angle of the ceiling at the end of the wall.

This master bedroom window was in the way of the crown so we had to improvise.

The center piece of a bull nosed corner had to be mitered upward five degrees to follow the
"A Frame" on the ceiling. This was also done 19 feet up in the air.

This crown was not only intercepted by other pieces, it was hewn around the two shutters so the doors could open and shut. From 8' to 14' up.

For all those who say "a little caulking, sanding, and paint makes a craftsman what he ain't." We enjoy perfecting multiple corners away from the wall completely and then having them fit on the wall with perfection as one contiuous piece. ;o) We also guarantee them not to split for seven years.

Craftsman style Wainscot can be created by covering a wall up to any height, with wood veneer and adding smooth vertical styles, and horrizontal rails, that are usually 1/2" to 11/16" thick X any width you desire, and intersecting them to form inverted boxes or shapes across the wall. Some will also use the rails to frame the perimeter, or they may add a crown moulding on top and a wider base rail on the bottom. It can be painted any color or stained. It can be on only one main wall or on several walls, bringing a formal elegance to certain areas of your office or home. One tricky part is making the intersecting seams dissapear, and we guarantee them not to split for seven years.

This is one of the more difficult corners we do, where an inside corner is close to a bull nosed corner. The miter is not straight. It actually jogs, so each level continues like a ray of light, until it meets the adjoining angled piece at the right spot, to match.

There are so many styles and ideas when it comes to wainscot. You can search all day and probably not see the same exact pattern used, which makes it so interesting. We are proud of the fact that we are always being stretched to new possibilities and raising the bar on our meticulous results. If you like our work, please "like" our page and you will be alerted when we have new posts.

I have been asked so many times If I do "how to" videos, for those interested in doing it themselves. If you are interested in finding out more on this subject, or have some questions about certain pictures on my web site, leave me a message and I will respond when I can.

How about a coffered ceiling in a Master Bedroom?
