Molding suggestions
I am in the middle of a PPH brownstone reno and I am trying to find some good sources for moldings(other than Dykes). I have some that need copying (that will have to wait for now) and others that I would like to try to match as best as possible. All help will be appreciated. Thanks.

We had a several moldings copied for our renovation when we replaced the Dyke's moldings that the previous owner had installed. The parlor floor moldings were expensive, because they were very large and curved around the archway. The second and third floor moldings were much more affordable because they were not as large. My only regret was stripping the moldings around the windows myself. They did not look as clean as the new moldings around the doors, even after countless hours of sanding.
BTW- Our moldings were copied by South Slope Woodworkers

I bought 5" casing and 7" baseboards from http://www.jjwohlferts.com
Even though shipping could get a bit high, the price was still way below what I found in Brooklyn - and it was delivered to my door by Fed Ex.
Also, poplar is a quick-growing, non-imported wood typically, and I'm really happy with the way it looks with a dark stain on it.

I forgot to mention that the custom plinths they made from my drawings to match were also reasonably priced, although it was a fairly simple design.
