    Making new skirtings and architraves

    Making new skirtings and architraves

    Thank you for your reply to my question. Yes mdf is very stable, but the ready made skirting and architrave does have grooves in it and I wondered why, if it was not for some very specific reason. Anyway, if anyone else has any thoughts I would appreciate them!!!!!

    Ok all you wood working guys out there, I need your advice. A woman doing 'do it yourself', yes I know, but 'bear' with me please. I want to make new skirtings and architraves for my house.
