I would like to reproduce the "cyma recta" profile as part of a built-up crown molding, but cannot find anyone who sells such a bit. The "cyma recta" is essentially a shallow Roman ogee profile. For an example, see FWW #166, p. 74 (Dec. 2003). Has anyone got any suggestions?

I have thought of trying to combine a 3/8" radius roundover and a 3/8" radius cove, but I would need to run my stock at 30° to vertical for the roundover, and even then I would cut out more than I need (bit would engage entire 90° face while need only 60° of a cut. Thanks for any thoughts.
