trz Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I've just lined a closet with some tongue and groove cedar from Lowes . Packaged in four ft. lengths , very pretty pink color. Now I would like to trim the corners out but can't find any long lengths of that pretty pink colored cedar that I can mill to use as trim. Any suggestions??

wdwerker Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Trim it in 4 ft section and do a good job at the joint or scarf joint and glue it into longer lengths. Another approach would be to use a contrasting trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yep, agree with Steve.. If it has to be the same stuff, that would be your limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I assume you're running the cedar horizontally in your closet. I did one of these a few years ago in a huge walk-in in one of the wings of a mansion. We did not use corner post material. If I remember correctly, we ran butt ends around the corner, but hid the but ends to either the back or less noticeable side of the outside corner. I'm not a fan of corner trim, it usually screams "I'm covering something up here". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I would go to lowes and check the decking section for 5/4 wrc planks. Youre not going to get an absolute match, but go for the reddest/pinkest boards you can find. Take the thickness down to your liking, probably between 1/2 and 3/4". You can get these planks in lengths up to 16', so you wont have to splice and joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 Lately, I have found better looking WRC in the fencing material at Lowes, rather than the stuff they sell alongside th oak and poplar. Although it is about 1/2" rather than 3/4", it is much less knotty. Fresh off the tree, though. Smells good, but don't stack it in the sun or it will turn into a pile of spaghetti...
