I am about to change the look of my home to that of an 18th century dwelling. Ideally, I would like to go with raised panels on the lower half of the walls. I have the tools and could create real raised panels, but I just don’t have the time. I have seen both pressed drywall raised panel sections as well as some made from some sort of MDF material. I have looked everywhere, but to no avail. In our neck of the woods, all of the real lumber and millwork companies have closed up because of the Home depot invasion. Can anyone tell me who makes these products, including any with their own websites. I am desperate at this point. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you very much Bill for your help. I can't tell you how long I have looked for the stuff. I should have known to come right here fot the information. You guys have never failed me yet. Thanks again.
Tom, Just saw an installation of the masonite product. If you can make it yourself, I don't think you 'll like the finished product. The 4 ft sections butt together and so every 4 ft you'll find a seam. There are 3 "panels" in a section, pressed much like a HC 6 panel masonite door. I think you'll find a description and pics here:

Another option, and actually, I'd like any feedback from any of you who have worked with this stuff. It's intriqued me for a few years now.
