   Issue 165 - September 2004
   The carp used a bolection molding to trim the rail/stile/raised panel as well as used it to cap the top of the wainscoting (as a chair rail).

   Ah....Bolection, blessed bolection,  it is. Thank you, Thang. The other terms..mullions are found in window sash, and by definition, all moudings are "applied", but it's the bolection variety that trims out a panel recessed in a frame. Haven't heard of the Cochran type but will check it out : ) Thanks all. Slainte' murph

   Actually, you have two types of mouldings......applied, or 'planted'(an old term)......and 'stuck', where the moulding is cut right into the edge of a rail/stile for example, as in cope-and-stick doors. One of the resons you'll sometimes hear a moulder called a 'sticker'.

   A bolection moulding has to cover part of the rail/stile, and part of the panel, and is rebated to allow that.......you can also use a simple applied moulding (sometimes called a panel moulding or a shingle moulding), which sits on the panel, and butts up to the edge of the rail/stile.

   Can you post some pics?I've used some so-called bolection mould on mantles, and it was like a huge, but more softly profiled chair rail. It also had a rabbet. Hey, I love the names of moulding<G> There is nothing--absolutely nothing--half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. Ernest H. Shepard

   Hope this works...here are a couple of really quick sketches, using a section view of a cabinet door (I left out the rail for clarity)

   <!----><!----> <!---->

   <!----> <!---->

   The bolection moulding has to extend over the surface of the frame (in this example).....it rises over the frame....and is always or almost always rebated…..a panel moulding usually sits below the surface of the frame. When a panel mould gets big enough, it's a shingle mould.<!---->

   Cochran molding unless I misspelled it.

   bolection is used wherever a molding transitions to a different thickness over a step such as your inset door panels to the frame, or the surrond on a fireplace to the wall or to the brick. There are instances where a chairrail is technically a bolection
