dentil banding

[misterbeal]

I'm trying to find some 5mm dentil banding to repair an old sideboard, but am having no luck locating the design and size I need on the Internet. :eusa_booh Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

First welcome to the site:eusa_clap

Could you post a picture of what your trying to match with all the measurements? That might help

I'm looking for 5mm dentil banding in what is called a "Rope" design.

I thought rope and dentil were two different styles...

Here's a link you might try... Woodworkers supply

Thanks, Joe. I think I've turned up a company in the UK that has what I want, though shipping will be costly.

For those of us who don't know would mind explaining the difference between dentil banding and dentil moulding

Thanks

First, let me say that, as Insomniac has pointed out to me, dentil banding is one thing, rope banding quite another. I'm a novice at this business and had confused the two, so you might want to ask someone more knowledgable than I am. But I think dentil molding (like other types of molding) is what one finds between the wall and the ceiling of a room, whereas dentil banding (like other types of banding) is a narrow decorative strip often used along the edges of furniture.

Bill,

I am taking a giant step and assuming you have woodworking tools and if so, have you considered making you own? I have made on occassion dental molding which is applied in conjunction with some type of crown molding at the top of a piece of furniture.

You can see from this photo the dental molding just below the crown molding at the top. I cut this on my radial arm saw.

You are clearly light years ahead of me in woodworking skills. In addition, I have confused everyone by not knowing the difference between dentil molding and rope molding and by not making clear that what I am after is not molding, but banding. In any sensible woodworking organization, I would be expelled for incompetence. I think I've discovered a dealer in the UK that can supply what I need. Thank you anyway for your suggestion.

....sorry, I jumped to the conclusion of molding! (I think the "rope" thing threw me off... still don't know what you mean there)


Now you've got to post a pic of your project when you're done, so I can learn from YOU!
