Nice job!

Too much repetition for me! That must have gotten real old toward the end.

Beautiful work. Lots of repetition is right. But some people will pay dearly for that stuff.

hello cabinetmaster, new to this stuff, blogging & such. Usually the manufacturer, ( in this case, me), pays dearly for this stuff. To get the work of this type.

Beautiful looking home. I suppose the ceilings weren't 8' either.

It's not my kind of house but nonetheless a great job. What kind of wood and finish did you use to withstand the exterior conditions for the years to come?

Thats lovely.

I worked for a company that did the same thing….............only in concrete. For sure, the most challenging work I have ever done as its done backwards and inside out.

Nice work

To make the project last I used african mahogany, for it's non rotting cabibilities. Then
I used an exterior oil based high fill primer, 3 coats both front and backside of cornice. Topped this off with an exterior acrilic latex. One coat back & 3 front.
I'm glad I did. When cornice was installed it was left for the fall winter & spring with no dry sheet over it. As you can immagine without the dry sheet the cornice was a giant gutter. It held water snow & ice for 6 months. The pictures were taken after. No ill offects from the weather exposure.

Wow! You are really good John. By the way, I apologize because I read the title too fast and didn't see the "mahogany" part. It seems that your method is a winner regarding surviving the weather.

Please, show us more of your projects.
