Manufacturing walnut crown molding is really easy. You make a simple jig to cut the cove on the tablesaw, then use a decorative router bit on either end to give it a finished look. A bit of sanding and you made yourself custom crown molding. Crown in an eight foot piece costs around 80 bucks. I made a really good deal on a couple 100 board feet of walnut a while back, I figure I can make enough for both of Sharon’s bookcases for less than 20 bucks.

    Way to go. Sounds like a deal Dean would have loved.
