Elsbeth Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 My image has it outlined in red - anyone know the name of that type of trim? It seems like a spaced dentil, but...maybe not. Looking to you architectural nerds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1martinimomma Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I have seen them referred to as corbels and cornice brackets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I agree with Colleen. I think it's just oversized fascia with repeating corbels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Thank you both so much - I had no idea where to start - and googling Cornice Brackets got me the right info! Thank you!! I might try a smaller scale version using cut up cove molding. Thank you!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I was donating some of our old board games to the Goodwill recently and noticed that the wood tile holders might make decent corbels. They would need to be cut with a small power saw. They are made of a dense nice quality wood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluestocking Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I think you would generally call them corbels. My first thought was that stone/plaster = corbel, while wood = bracket, but that's just me. This discussion http://forums.jlconline.com/forums/forum/jlc-online-expert-forums/finish-carpentry/53112-corbel-or-bracket has a logical explanation that while the words are essentially interchangeable in literal meaning, "a corbel is almost always specific to construction/architecture. A bracket is a word with meanings that includes terms outside of architecture. So, they are interchangeable, although 'corbel' would be immediately understood to mean something in construction, while 'bracket' would need context. Both are correct." Nice house, Jenn!

mesp2k Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 You can buy full size molding at Home Depot by the foot. I used it on my store front: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyckedWood Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Off the subject but I really love the way the BH looks without the porches. Really gives it a totally different vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsbeth Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 It isn't my BH (wish it was)--I too like it sans porches--less frilly second empire tone. I am definitely inspired by it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1martinimomma Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Yes, Mike that is a fantastic idea. Wish I would have thought of that before I bought a ton of them to put on my BH, and then changed my mind and now they sit in my spare wood storage.
