How A HoneyBadger Makes Crown Molding
Starting point was a piece of reclaimed floor board pine.
Ripped down the pine to thickness as well as saved the hassle of removing many layers of old paint.
Rough marks of where I wanted to cut my coves to match the original molding
Dry fitting the piece on the table saw. You can cut coves in lumber by running wood at an angle across your saw blade gradually to remove minimal thicknesses of lumber at a time til you get the depth you desire
