Thanks Greg,

The Great Auk looks like it is exactly what I am looking for. I will most likely just buy the forms and go from there. As an able beginner, is milling your own bead and cove more trouble than it's worth? I have read horror stories of glue-up problems if they arent perfect. I understand that top and bottom stock feeds, before and after the cove bit will eliminate some human error. Is the savings in wood worth the trouble? What is the alternative, squared strips? Thanks.
