Excerpt from the Book:

Today, mass-production brings a whole range of molding possibilities to any home builder or remodeler, from re-creations of built-up cornices to replications of hand-carved plaster moldings made from cast polyurethane. Creative trim carpenters have learned to combine stock moldings to create a nearly infinite variety of complex profiles.

Decorative moldings add a permanent elegance to an interior space, and do-it-yourselfers now have many options to choose from. For example, you can create wall frame moldings using basic wood trim available at any home center. Or, you can choose from among the many new polyurethane products now available from specialty retailers and catalog vendors. Whichever products you choose, this book will show you the tools and basic installation techniques you’ll need to do the job.
