Sand Cement mouldings how to do the birds beak round external door ways

[Ruffin]

Hi All,

I live in Plymouth and we have alot of old mouldings etc down here. Well i have a customer that wants us to hack of render keeping mouldings which is fine, as we will just disc around them.... But around the door entrance we have a corner on the head and a corner coming a foot down the reveal then it sort of goes in and is then flat so there is no corner. I understand they call it a birds beak but im not sure. I know i havent explained well but i would really like some help here boys !!!!!!!!!!!!

pretty sure you could bead that up easy enough.....
i'd be thankin me stars it doesnt go square to large bullnose off the beak... :RpS_unsure:
but i do believe the idea is to hard edge em for authenticity... unless youre gonna thincoat it or paint it...
and for that youre gonna need a better man than me....
ill be watchin this one with interest... wonder if church has finished polishing the van yet? :rolleyes)
