Craftsman Style Casing
Normally I build this door or window trim style by stacking two pieces together.
But since the Molding & Millwork Company makes this one-piece in a pre-primed mdf casing, why, you can just run out and order a whole bunch from your local lumber yard.
I say a bunch because it’s really affordable.
The only downside to using this casing is its width.
At 3-1/4″ wide it’s 1/2″ shy of full 4″ wide width found in most (buy not all) of the historic Craftsman bungalows here in southeast Michigan. But it’s still a beautiful molding and oh so affordable.

Buy It at Durst Lumber in Berkley, Michigan
When I stopped by Durst Lumber today to ask Don what the price is on this casing, he didn’t even look up from his computer before blurting out the prices — he’s that familiar with it.
My dad’s been going to Durst Lumber for thirty years, and now I go there all the time, too. It’s just one of those great corner hardware stores that is a pleasure to shop in. And don’t forget to grab a free bag of popcorn while you’re there!
