Hello Folks,

I used to be an active part of this community a long time ago and learned so much from all the contributors. It's a few years down the track now but I am back with a new account and a pressing issue at hand:

I am renovating the front door entryway at my place and have just about finished with the exception of the ceiling mouldings. The entryway was sheeted with fibro and I had most of that removed professionally with the exception of few sheets that don't need to be touched. The problem is that when the guys removed the sheets they broke one of the ceiling cornice mouldings (I was hoping not to have to touch these) and I am now in need of a length of this particular timber moulding before I can put the architraves up and so on.

I've been to Bunnings, Mitre 10 and Brett's Hardware and the closest I can find is the Scotia or Ovolo (I think it is) mouldings, however they are not close enough to get away with it.

Can anyone help me in tracking down what type of moulding this is and where I might be able to purchase it or indeed if I won't be able to find it (unless I fluke it on gumtree or ebay). If I absolutely have to i will remove the remaining three pieces of this moulding from the fibro (with appropriate precautions) and replace with quad but it's a last resort.

Many thanks :2tsup:

Yeh. It's scotia. Search Tabma timber profiles. This publication shows all the standard sizes of scotia and other moulding. Stores will only stock one or two sizes.

Steve.

bit hard to tell from your photo, but it looks like something that would be easy to make in 3 or 4 sections using a table saw.

and if it's to be covered by plaster, near enough will be more than good enough
