moulding
I asked a friend to repair our clock (which is his hobby), but when he came to pick it up he returned the request with a favour for me to make a replacement oak moulding about 4 inches long of 15x10mm moulding as per attached pattern picture.
I can see my way to reducing a 12" length of timber using a couple of cutters on my router table, but how do I produce a piece to match the rest of the moulding on the clock. Should I try to make a scratch blade or what have you?woody U.K.

scratch blade is the only way to go given the very small quantity needed.

The profile looks easy enough to build up in several sections. I guess it is possible to do so with a router and cove bits, but my preference would be hand tools.
The profile is too large for a single scratch bead. However you could make up a set of these (out of old saw blades - use files and a grinder to shape), or use Hollow and Round planes to sculpt the curves (unless you own a set of H & R you will need to find someone who does to do this for you).
