Beading Boards

I wanted the “beaded” look for some oak cabinet doors but didn’t have any molding planes or router bits. Instead, I cut a series of 3/16″ x 3/16″ dadoes, rounded over the edges, and then glued 3/16″ dowel rod into the grooves. It gave just the effect I wanted. I plan to try the same technique with thin rope.
