Description
Towards the late 17th century, Great Britain was a growing world power and trading nation. This led to an economic boom and there were more people in Britain that could afford opulent homes and furniture. The notable makers of the time, such as Garret Johnson and Grinling Gibbons, sacrificed strength for style, incorporating curved classical rounded shapes into the moldings of furniture. These profiles evolved from the classical Greek and Roman shapes as used by famous architects and designers Christopher Wren (designer of St. Paul’s Cathedral in London) and William Kent to name a few.
This unique 11Pc. Architectural Profile Router Bit Set was designed to emulate the more popular profiles found on 17th century British furniture. The moldings of this period were originally created by hand using scratch stocks or molding planes but now they can be created using the router.
The idea for this 11-Pc. router bit set is to enable restorers and producers of fine furniture to make authentic moldings loyal to those found on traditional furniture.
