How to make cricket bat mouldings?

[chriseastlondon]

Hi. I'm trying to restore a Victorian front door that has cricket bat panels. It's supposed to look like this:

Hardwood Islington (Cricket Bat Panels) - External Doors

HARDWOOD ISLINGTON Four traditional panels are modernised using a raised moulding and raised panel to create a cricket bat effect. This design oozes opulence, perfect for enhancing any room.

The top 2 panels are missing. In order to replace them, I need to either make or buy the raised moulding in the centre of each one, which I can then glue and pin to flat panels.

I've made a diagram (see image below) of the mouldings I need. I've tried quite a few joinery companies but the set-up costs make it quite expensive. They've all quoted around £350-plus.

I could try making them myself but I think it's going to be difficult. Maybe an electric planer would do it?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Lacking any better idea, I would expect a router, could do it, with a suitable jig, and a lot of patience, plus time.

Circular saw and a precise jig should give at least the basic profile. Finish off with a sander.

Suitable sized chamfered architrave could be ripped down to similar dimensions , then 4 mitres cuts to assemble the shape.

If it was me I'd screw it from behind to a temporary block to make it easier to handle and give something to clamp to, rough it on the bandsaw with the table angled and finish off with a hand plane. If you don't have a band saw, you could use a hand saw, or a power planer to rough it out, but a (sharp) hand plane for the precise finish is IMHO the best. If you try using a power planer for the finish cuts you'll almost certainly snipe it.

just to add, I'd be using a regular no4 for the long edges, and my low angle block plane for the end grain https://workshopheaven.com/quangsheng-low-angle-block-plane-type-3/

TBH, if you don't want to DIY, just find a local carpenter (not a wood butcher) to hand make them - it's a mornings work at most to make a couple of those.
