Historic Trim Matching Micro-Mill
Offer small-batch reproduction of ogee-and-bead casings, base caps, back-bands, and picture rail for restorations. Customers bring a sample; you pattern-match by dialing in bit height/fence, then run consistent lengths on a router table with featherboards and a power feeder for quality.
Custom Frames & Mirrors Studio
Sell made-to-order frames with selectable woods, stains, and profile variations (single vs. double passes for deeper shadow lines). Bundle with mirrors, art prints, or conservation glazing. Market locally and online; upsell engraving, gilding, or color washes.

Refresh plain shelves, face frames, valances, and mantel trims by adding an ogee-and-bead edge. Pick up removable parts or fabricate new matching components in-shop for safety/quality. Offer tiered packages for kitchens, libraries, and mudrooms.
Stair Tread Nosing & Railing Enhancements
Produce replacement treads and handrail caps with an ogee-and-bead nosing for premium homes. Partner with remodelers; deliver prefinished parts cut to width/rise. Emphasize code-aware designs and slip-resistant finishing options.
Workshops, Plans, and Content
Host weekend classes on router-table safety, profile setup, and moulding production. Sell digital plans for frames, boxes, and wainscot kits. Monetize via course fees, downloadable templates, affiliate links for tooling, and local sponsorships.

Heirloom Picture/Mirror Frames
Mill elegant ogee-and-bead profiles on 3/4–1 in hardwood stock, miter, spline or biscuit the corners, and add a rabbet for glass/mirror backing. Use the bearing-guided bit on a router table with featherboards for consistent passes. Finish with shellac or oil to highlight the crisp beads.
Premium Charcuterie & Bread Boards
Cut boards from maple, walnut, or cherry and soften all perimeter edges with the ogee-and-bead for a hand-finished look. Add a subtle handhold by profiling only the underside edges. Sand progressively and finish with a food-safe oil/wax; the bead protects against edge dings.
Keepsake Box With Profiled Lid and Base
Build a small box with mitered corners. Use the bit to profile the lid perimeter and the box base skirt, creating a classic shadow line. Add splines or keys at corners for strength and contrast. The bead visually lightens the base and gives the lid a refined touch.
Mantel or Floating Shelf Edge Upgrade
Glue up a shelf blank, then route the front and side edges with the ogee-and-bead to mimic traditional mantel moulding. Hide brackets with a hollow back or use a French cleat. Finish in a deep stain or painted enamel for architectural impact.
Wainscot Cap Rail and Panel Moulding
Create a chair-rail/cap for wainscoting: rip a profiled strip with the ogee-and-bead as the top edge detail, and add smaller applied mouldings around panels for depth. The consistent bead ties disparate panels into a cohesive, period-correct look.
