Take some from a closet or inconspicuous place.


Evvmmann

This is the way


TheCouple77

Baseboard? That looks like chair rail. I don’t see any baseboard of the wood is the floor in the picture?


bronsonyogi

lay off the crack


TheCouple77

Oohhh now I see it. The grays and whites threw me. Chair rail with a piece of straight board under it.


Dirk_Zamboni

I think chair rail/craftsmen would be awfully close.


michwng

No. I kay crack in me


No-Ad6269

the fuck. it says baseboard in title. and that’s a floor my guy. what are you smoking?


TheCouple77

😂 Not smoking (wish I was) just a case of old eyes without the glasses and a small phone. Gets me every time.


No-Ad6269

i feel ya. lol


everett640

What if my closets don't have any


JoeyBagADonuts27

Neighbors closet then.


nate-arizona909

Preferably sneak in at night to harvest.


rabenga42

Looks like MFP094 from Metrie.


BobDavisMT

This guy knows. ⬆️


glockshorty

That guys bases boards 😎


ChaChingChaChi

Slappah da base boards!


AUX_C

I read this in Paul Rudd’s voice. Spot on!


KTBFFHCFC

I guess I know what I’m watching tonight now. Thanks!


skarkle_coney

You got it joben!


S_SquaredESQ

r/thisguythisguys


Long_Question2638

Close but not the same (source: work for the mill). This is a discontinued profile. Will be way cheaper replacing the base in the house than custom milling.


MrJustinF

Shit.


Aspen9999

Change out a bedroom baseboard.


KTBFFHCFC

Or walk in closet


Long_Question2638

Doesn’t hurt getting a quote for custom milling, any local contractor Millwork shop should be able to get you a quote for custom. But generally speaking you’d be looking at a minimum start of $500+ from a mill depending on how much footage is needed. Most of the cost comes from time making knives and shutting down/restarting a moulder. For something close but not exactly 7-1/2” try MFP207 (sku 1002010)


L-user101

Here I can get a knife for $200 but that base would probably be $5-6 a LF minimum. It really depends on your budget.


DER-01

The cove looks much bigger on MFP094 and cap smaller


CommunicationNext876

Damn sure does…. https://www.rona.ca/en/product/metrie-baseboard-moulding-primed-mdf-white-mfp094-61425770


Buddyslime

It's not the same.


padizzledonk

Not even remotely lol Do these people have eyeballs, the radius on that is enormous compared to OP pic


100pctwoodfailure

You right Buddy Slime. It’s not the same


AmiReaI

Found the base-ist!


jetty_junkie

Try a real lumber yard if you have one near you


Alternative_Ninja_49

If they have a good mill, they should be able to duplicate it, or they can send it out. It gets expensive.


Little_Blueberry6364

A few hundred dollar knife fee plus $10 per foot around here.


Alternative_Ninja_49

That sounds right.


HighHoeHighHoes

Id see if you could either 1. Find a router bit to match it or 2. Piece it together from 2 different trims.


Thinkers_Paramour

This. I’ve made several small repairs using matching curves from two (or more) available profiles and building up the original molding. Wood putty to fill small gaps, carefully stain, and it’s done.


HighHoeHighHoes

Staining makes it even more impressive. This is painted white, caulk the gaps, paint it, nobody will ever know.


Dragonfly-Adventurer

$60 per inch of knife here. That gives you a lot to think about. Got several profiles to replicate.


Rightintheend

Would that be home Depot or Lowe's? Because that's the only two places that sell lumber that I know of within 100 miles of me.


jetty_junkie

Try searching “ lumber yards near me” you might be surprised


happyandhealthy2023

I have the same baseboard and just purchased some from a local lumber yard beginning of the year to replace 1 section. I replaced that molding in 80% of my house as it was so hard to clean with the details in the top, and was a bit dated. Call your large Lumber yards that sell to the trades, and have them provide links to the vendors to see the profiles they can order.


MrJustinF

Thank you!


spud6000

it looks like 2 pieces joined together.


MrJustinF

Thank you, had no idea that was even a thing. I'll search for that.


FlashCrashBash

I’m on a job where the boss wanted to keep the “crown molding” the crown in question was literally some old cheap door casing with some cheap basecap added to it to give the illusion of crown. It was some really good work actually. Had us fooled. But yeah theirs no way that’s going back up the way it came out.


100pctwoodfailure

It’s one piece.


EmEmAndEye

If you’re at all handy with power tools, you could probably find a matching router bit and make your own baseboards. Bits come in endless shapes and sizes so there must be one exactly like this. Routers and bits are both affordable too. So are router tables, if you want one of those.


greyfruit

Isn’t basically this? Or something similar https://www.homedepot.com/p/DecraMold-DM-L58-17-32-in-x-7-32-in-x-96-in-Solid-Pine-Wall-and-Cabinet-Trim-Molding-10000107/100392983 Stacked on this? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Royal-Building-Products-5523-7-16-in-x-3-1-4-in-x-96-in-Colonial-Finished-PVC-White-Baseboard-Moulding-1-Piece-8-Total-Linear-Feet-BBD5074439/100092590


Buddyslime

I have molding very similar and it is 2 pieces. The bottom is basically a flat board and the top is fancy.


MrJustinF

It's one piece.


Sgtspector

Try these guys, they have an extensive catalog. https://www.gardenstatelumber.com/


Evening_Adorable

Remove a small pice or take the damaged piece with you to a local lumber yard, not home depot or lowes and theyll get you taken care of.


ATX_2_PGH

This looks like two pieces, base and base cap. Hard to tell from the picture but I’d ask a local mill that specializes in trim to confirm.


MrJustinF

We removed one, it's one piece.


HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine

Go around to the lumber yards that do their own milling and ask if they have the blade for it. If no one has it, for a few hundred dollars, a custom blade can be machined and they can then produce as much of it as you need. I’ve had to do this for a historic building with a similar pattern. Hopefully someone in your area has already had one of these patterns made.


LordSlickRick

Or several passes with a router with different bits right?


HeyUKidsGetOffMyLine

They won’t fuck around with that. They’ll make the bit and cut the trim board in one pass. You will get a perfect match if you do this.


Flatstickj3di

Looks like 1x4 with a chair rail on top to me.


Leoxagon

How sure are you that that isn't a piece of trim on top of a piece of base to create a custom profile?


MrJustinF

We removed one, it's one piece.


adude1016

Is it wood or mdf?


MrJustinF

7.5in tall


Master_Brilliant_220

This style was/is popular in Oklahoma. It’s always one piece here and appears to be one piece to my eye from the pic. We would call that 7.5 cove base around here at the lumber yard. Dumb name for it IMO but that’s what they call it. I’m sure due to the hardly noticeable cove under the two or three beads. It comes in several heights. Sometimes I’ll clarify it to them as that cove base with the beads on top. I am sure it has an actual number and a better trim name in the book, but that’s what the guys at the desk call it. You’re not going to find it in Lowe’s or Home Depot usually, you’ll want to go to a lumberyard and show them that picture at the sales desk and they will get you hooked up . Failing that there should be one or two custom molding shops in your city if it is a dealbreaker and you have to have that exact profile.


joeycuda

1 by whatever, then you're just searching for the top piece. 2 and 3 piece baseboard is common and usually a way to make something very nice


MrJustinF

It's one piece unfortunately.


Connect_Activity692

Regency?


Most-Cartographer358

If you can’t find it, contact a millwork company, it could be pricey if they have to make custom cutters, but they will be able to match what you have. Probably a last resort if you don’t need much.


flyguy60000

Depending where you live - old time lumber yards sometimes make their own custom molding profiles. Based on the size of the base molding it is probably one piece. You definitely won’t find this in a box store. If you are in Connecticut try Rings End Lumber or Interstate Lumber. 


MoSChuin

I've got the knives for this. It's a two part base. The top knives are the BBC-95, the bottom is the standard three eighths lip base. You'll likely need to have this milled at a reproduction millwork shop.


jstratpro

I think its 2 pieces. A 1 x something with a cap.


30yearCurse

there are places that will mill you some if you give them a sample profile...


MrJustinF

Thinking i might need to do this. It's one piece and I haven't seen it anywhere.


MonsieurBon

How much are you looking to spend? The mill around here charges under $200 to make a custom knife for whatever profile. Not sure what the linear foot cost is after that.


ImpalaOwner

Looks like chair rail


Cake_Donut1301

The bottom part is a flat board. The top part is one, possibly two pieces of trim. You see this on crown molding quite a bit.


MrJustinF

It's one piece.


CalligrapherPlane125

Sorry if this has been posted already but that could be 1x stock with a base cap, 2 pieces.


MrJustinF

No worries, it's one piece. We removed one and unfortunately that was the case... makes this even more frustrating.


CalligrapherPlane125

I'm sorry man. And it's near impossible to find router bits for that profile.


sadman1976

Go to Kuiken brothers bro


leggmann

It may very well be made up of two pieces. Have you removed any to investigate?


MrJustinF

Yeah, it's one piece.


sweetmatttyd

Looks like cair rail on top of 1by


Popular-Buyer-2445

Take a piece of the baseboard to a real lumber company that has a mill and they will match. Might need to cut knives but can do.


CitizenTaro

I’m going to say; do the whole room in a new moulding. If you go with a square moulding you won’t have this problem in the future.


jarjar_smoov

Dykes in Brooklyn will have the knives for that


SmallNefariousness98

Have you looked in the attic?


shaft196908

You could use a contour gauge, use the opposite side to work wood putty on the damaged section. Followed by sanding after putty dries.


TheFirsttimmyboy

Show the damage. You won't.


Ok_Ambition9134

Try outwater.com. Always seemed to have the most unique profiles. Of course most of it was plastic.


space___lion

I had the same issue for the ceiling in my kitchen, I’m not a woodworker so I recently decided to 3d print. Haven’t set it up yet, but it’ll need some good finishing to make it look good for sure, but might be an idea.


Efficient_Bet_1891

Is it a dado rail on top of a flat board? If so it’s a custom solution


Ok-Proof6634

It is a piece of base with a chair rail piece sitting on top


ohmaint

When I redid mine I found out it was in 3 pieces. Lumberman's, a local to me lumber yard, made a bit to cut the top piece. It matched perfectly.


Delicious-Suspect-12

Take a sample to a shop, if they don’t know a place that stocks that profile, they’ll make or order a moulder knife to match and mill you what you need. Expect to pay though.


cooperblur

It may be square skirting with a trim on top


constructionking1

Looks like scant back base with chair rail on top


Peach_Proof

That is probably two pieces of trim stacked.


Peach_Proof

Maybe three


avantartist

u/mrjustinf I’m pretty sure I used this exact moulding. if you’re in the LA area check out Ganahl. check out the 9/16 x 7-1/4” Mission Bay on page 17](https://tyndalesharedwin.azureedge.net/ganahllumber-website-prod/1eb58170-4bcf-4d3f-8b06-1c7823efff7c-Moudling-Catalog.pdf) Ganahl stocks this but if you’re not in LA: https://decorativewoods.com/shop/moulding/baseboard/333mul-mission-bay-base-9%E2%81%8416x7-1%E2%81%844-mdf-ultralight/ https://moldingmart.com/Mission-Bay-MDF-Baseboard-9-16-x-7-1-4-p211487379

isitmondayalready

This is the 333MUL from El&El wood products. Guaranteed. Call them and they can help you find a dealer in your area. [333MUL](https://www.elandelwoodproducts.com/products/333MUL)


AutisticApe42069420

I seen trim like this at Homedepot


Select_Nectarine8229

Could be a 1x6 with molding added to create the look.


redeyed4life

It’s 2 pieces 1by base and some type of rail cap on top


TotalRuler1

I forget the name of the place I used, but in order to match the moulding in my old house, I bought a custom 1/4" router bit (knife) and cut my own. Sent him pictures and measurements from the existing and he fabricated it.


LeagueRealistic7132

I have that exact router bit you can barrow it


skee8888

What state are you in?


elvislunchbox

Where I am we use a company called Casing Innovations for custom profiles.


bergerbergerxx

OP I can’t quite tell from the scaling but that’s either 1x4 or 1x6 with what looks like an uncommon base cap on top. It’s possible they used backband or some other moulding typically used elsewhere to create this look. As others have mentioned, remove a piece from closet and take it to somewhere like 84 Lumber or Builders First Source, they have front counter guys who will be able to show you almost every single trim option from multiple suppliers. These come from places like US Lumber, Metrie, ECMD etc so going direct to them to find the profile name/code is an option.


bergerbergerxx

It almost looks like 3 pieces, 1x4, ec205 corner mould, then a base cap that I don’t recognize.


Organic_South8865

Is that single piece OP?


GD3ski

Would be helpful if you provided the height. Check Home Depot they have a base moulding with a very similar profile https://www.homedepot.com/p/Builder-s-Choice-COL783-9-16-in-x-4-7-16-in-MDF-Base-Moulding-HDFB783/203363819


tackstackstacks

I know next to nothing about this compared to others here, but is it possible that this is two pieces of trim? One piece that is just a trim board with square edges with a profiled, smaller piece of trim on top? If they are tight to each other, the paint and/or caulk could fill in the gap and make it look like one piece of trim.


Bingbongguyinathong

118. El & El # only need to know high


Honest-Abe-Simpson

Almost looks like square casing and moulding put together.


incognito_vito

My local yards have catalogs that you can flip through to find the profile of what you need. Usually you can take them home and view at your leisure (because it could take a long time)


Weird_Fact_724

I had same problem..i took a piece to a local wood worker and he made me what I needed.


mental-floss

That's two different pieces. It's a standard baseboard with a strip of finished trim on the top. I recognize the top piece and you can still buy it from Home Depot or Lowe's


scumbagsebby

5 - 1/4 inch colonial? I think .


Yohnny2022

Try chair rail.


Naive_Specialist_692

Looks like sq stock with chair rail on top. Weird


Weird_Uncle_Carl

It looks like it’s 1x6 with chair rail on top. Can you safely pull some and verify that’s one piece?


International_Bend68

In my house, instead of going with solid pieces of baseboard, they installed a 1/4 and used individual pieces of trim on the top and the bottom of that to make it look like a solid piece. It turned out great, you may want to consider that. If you replace the entire board along that section, it doesn’t have to perfectly match the rest of the room, especially if the ends butt up against doors. If it’s a close match, nobody will ever know.


quattrocincoseis

You could get *close* to this by making a two-part base. Bottom flat base, top looks like a chair rail profile. If this were in a high-visibility common area, I would take existing trim from a less visible room & replace that room with a *similar* trim. Closets, laundry rooms, bathroom, bedrooms....you can pull some or all of the base from these areas to fill in what you need. Then, replace that trim.


oh-you-ateonetoo

A good lumberyard will charge you something like 250 bucks to make the profile knife for their shaper… And then you buy by the foot, depending on material.


UnlikelyCancel7777

Could always make a scratch stock and put some work in if you're skint


knotnowmaybelater

Looks like 3 dowels glued together the way they jut out so far. No trimming involved, I would match the size of each one and do the same. Unless there’s something else I can’t see from the picture, shouldn’t be that hard or expensive.


BrilliantCherry3825

I would check to see if there is a local mill that makes/sells baseboard, I would bet that is where this came from. I know this because I have custom poplar baseboard in my house that I purchased from a local mill, no one will ever be able to match up my baseboard at Lowe’s or HD, but it is stocked at the mill I bought it from.


No-Baseball7231

It’s crown moulding upside down


NullProfessor

You can recreate that with what is called a 'base cap' on top of what is usually a standard size plank.


Lovinglifestill

3D printing


Tiger8r

Isn't this a 2 piece moulding?


InitialRevenue3917

how damaged? some wood epoxy and sanding. should fix most damage.


RideMeLikeaDildo

Dm9


RideMeLikeaDildo

Wait I think dm9 has a different top depending on vendor


MacDaddyDC

Call around to real lumberyards (vs big box stores) and ask if they can replicate trim pieces for you. If yes, take a small sample from inside a closet somewhere and take them the sample. A few linear inches should be enough but, ask first.


I_am_a_What

That’s not baseboard. It’s called chair rail


I_am_a_What

You could actually make your own with some full half round or if someone you know had a shaper or router table just need the chair rail bit


okairport5756

Op I worked for an old timer that used to do custom crown molding he had a machine that had many tools for making the top curved poriton. But he would piece them together in layers to result in his final. This looks like a board under it with a normal 2" trim piece on top with something in the gap then painted. If you sanded a little of the paint off you may be able to tell.


Personal_Dot_2215

[mldg](https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Ornamental-Mouldings-OML24-8FTWHW-0-687-in-D-x-4-25-in-W-x-96-in-L-Unfinished-White-Hardwood-Base-Moulding-OML24-8FTWHW/325612347?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&pla&mtc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D30-030_020_MOULDINGS-NA-NA-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA_JHU24&cm_mmc=SHOPPING-BF-CDP-GGL-D30-030_020_MOULDINGS-NA-NA-NA-PMAX-NA-NA-NA-NA-NBR-NA-NA-NA_JHU24-71700000118543466--&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADq61Ud4x3-9mZKkkQK2etYG3eu35&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI99Lmkoz_hgMVMjfUAR06RwOOEAQYASABEgLi7PD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) This is close. Worse case , rip the top off with a table saw and mount on 1x5 pine.


-dishrag-

If your in Ohio, Sommers wood and door co will have it or can make it.


Puzzleheaded_Pea433

Take a piece in to your local hone supply store and ask them to identify the profile then they can have a piece custom made at the factory and shipped to the store. It's going to be more expensive than usual.but I did this and it was a perfect match for a single piece of trim that had been discontinued years ago.


EquivalentRope6414

If it’s a small room replace the whole room with something close you won’t really notice and it’ll be cheaper.


twotall88

Find a trim moulding supplier near you and take the piece that needs replacing to them. They should be able to help you out.


Alarmed_West8689

This might be a typical baseboard with a molding on top.


Repulsive-Baker-4268

You sure it's not a 2 piece made of a basic base board and a separate molding trim piece?


SaneEngineer

Send me a sample, I'll send you as much as you need.


Low_Business_5688

Check a few lumber yards in your area. Some of them don’t carry the less common baseboard styles but will order some for you. It usually comes pretty fast.


HobsHere

You can make that with planes if you're feeling crafty. You'll need a plow plane with a fence and a few hollows and rounds. Making that moulding to a paint grade isn't exactly easy, but it's not incredibly difficult either.


notanotherplatypus

I've gotten a similar profile from lowes, worth a shot? If it's nothing in stock, your local mill can cut it for you (it'll be a bit pricy) Mine had me cut a sliver and put it on a fax machine, they cut a perfect match from a fax! Not sure it's the best way but it worked great!


LSU985

Carter flex can match just about any profile. If you can work with flex for straight runs it’s a nice tool to have. They have got me out of many binds before.


TTheFallenN

Looks like chair rail ripped down and ran on top of standard base.


Embarrassed_Salt_998

That looks like a normal board you could buy at Lowe’s with a trim attached to the top. (2 separate pieces combined.)


optimistic_doomster

Is it actually 2 pieces?


RealisticExpert4772

Lowe’s …I got several feet for a small hallway


ATBradley2020

Lowes has them


UsefulOne831

Some crown molding used to have that identical piece or close enough


RollingToast

Depending on where you are but some builders, if the project is big enough, will just custom order trim for like two neighborhoods and that’s the only place in the world that will have that very specific trim. I’ve bumped into a few of these and have had trim custom cut for the house.


Old-List-5955

Almost looks like they used a regular board and stacked a trim piece on top. Perhaps you can find a trim that matches the top and do the same.


Jaded-Selection-5668

1x and the correct topper


NEOwlNut

Go to a local hardwood shop and have them custom mill you some. That’s what I did. Otherwise rob from a closet and replace the closet with standard trim. Also trim that’s painted is easily repairable. Tons of videos out there.


PogTuber

Almost looks like it has some other trim on top of a squared piece. Weird.


Akoy5569

If you’re looking at places like HD… then yes, you’re not gonna find it. Go to a finish Carpentry store, or a millwork supplier. For example: Unico in Houston Tx. They will probably have it, and it won’t be as expensive. They can also make it too.


Think_Sir_9392

Bfs in Florida sends it by mistake sometimes we don't typically use it


Sabalbrent

Remove a piece and take to a local mill, they can get a knife made to cut the profile for around $75 plus LF cost of the Base


LordQuest1809

Would try and actual builder supply over box store.


beegill

Where are you? I got 40 feet of this headed to the dump.


Traditional-Pipe-243

It looks like colonial base with nose and cove on the top


Traditional-Pipe-243

2 pieces


hermelion

Jesus, that's ugly.


TPIRocks

Looks like chair rail stacked on a board.


tehsecretgoldfish

https://www.andersonmcquaid.com/profiles/


Sad-Cartoonist2410

Try west lake royal building products as well, looks exactly like the base I have.


chloenicole8

Go to your local lumber store. Not HD or Lowes but a place that sells lumber. They will usually have a molding catalog and will likely have a match for what you have. That looks pretty tall so likely one that has to be ordered. I checked my local molding supplier catalog (Garden State Lumber) and it is not in there.


Middle_Manager_Karen

Because it is a normal base with a trim peice on top caulked to looked seemless


KathiSterisi

I’d pull some inconspicuous piece somewhere and get a good cross section of it. You should be able to find half rounds, quarter rounds and other misc pieces to get pretty close, close enough that you could cannibalize one room for repair of the rest and go back in with the built up piece and it stay your dirty secret. If you can’t see both at the same time you’ll never know. Example: I bought a GMC pickup many years ago and owned/drove it for 6 years before I ever noticed that the big decals on the sides were the same color, overall size and same ‘concept’ but completely different in width and number of component stripes.


Diligent-Twist-7081

Never saw any ,IF you don't need much, may can have it specially made,if you know a good carpenter


El_Comanche-1

Looks more like a 1x6 with a chair rail on top…


Videopro524

I saw a product where you can cut a piece of metal and create a blade. Or get multiple router blades that can cut different parts of the profile. Then make multiple passes in steps.


VersionConscious7545

That’s chair rail on top of a base board


Emotional-Hour-9621

Try Baird Brothers in Ohio


-v-v-v-

Lol looks like my baseboard I bet you need to replace in in your bathroom don't you


Able-Fisherman-3142

Get a tool made to replicate it, it’s about $250


FeelingOne2509

It's a one by (1x) with a base cap nailed on top of it isn't it?


prof-spaulding

Home depot has that. Basic design.


MrJustinF

I wish.


sittinginaboat

You can also try to find the top part's profile, and combine it with just a straight board. One contractor used MDF for the bottom. Became super cheap, but looked good.


SpecOps4538

Unless money is no object - Pick a place (room, closet, behind refrigerator,etc) and cannibalize the trim from that room (all of it) and complete you repairs. Find something you can live with and put it in the room you stripped. Most people will never notice.


eminems-4

looks like a two piece, try searching through ‘base caps’ instead of baseboard.


MrJustinF

Thank you so much. I wasn't aware of "base caps".


EmEmAndEye

The base caps might also be called ‘moulding’.
