Hi - I have an old room filled with big oak exposed beams. They have a beautifully hand planed bead profile a carpenter did 200 years ago before they framed them in. One of the beams was the top of a wall partition that is long gone and it lacks the bead detail.
I've got the right router bit but wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for how to do this "in the air". The most straightforward thing would just be to take it slow and take lots of breaks. Holding a router up like that doesn't sound like a safe or accurate deal.
I may just buy an antique hand mounding plane as an alternative...
