Hi All, Having spent some time of my career in Millwork, it would not be very difficult to make this happen. Here is what you need:
First, there is the always finding the elusive person with the checkbook to PAY for it all. Find a willing millwork or cabinet shop with the proper machinery. Shops that specialize in custom trim & moldings would be the best choice. They might be near an area with many old houses that are undergoing high end restoration. These shops will make moldings to match an existing profile that is rotted or termite damaged. They will have an automatic feed trim router. I actually have a photo of 1 of these machines from where I used to work. (NO I am NOT contacting them! We did NOT part company well!) You will have to pay for a custom set of knives ($1-300.00 + -) Most of the cost in such jobs are in the set up. By the time they get it running and cutting well 100' of wood can easily be scrapped. The cost between 100' and 500' could be nominal. The buyer of said project would probably have to buy a LOT of it. Even at that, the selling price could probably not be $1.00 per foot like in days of old. Small runs drive the shops nuts and you PAY for that. They want to set up and run thousands of lineal feet of the same profile. Poplar or bass would probably be the best wood for this application. Finding long clean bass boards could be equally difficult. Poplar is very accessible. OK there you have it. Who is biting?
