Each piece is 10 feet long with actual dimensions of 3/4" wide x 1/2" thick.

What Is Pencil Moulding Used For?
Pencil moulding is typically used as a decorative accent or finishing profile rather than as primary casing, baseboard, or crown moulding.
Its smaller dimensions make it useful when a project needs additional detail without adding a large trim element.
Common applications may include:
- Decorative wall panels
- Wainscoting
- Picture-frame moulding designs
- Layered casing
- Cabinetry details
- Built-in shelving
- Fireplace surrounds
- Decorative borders
- Custom millwork
- Architectural trim assemblies
Why Choose a 3/4" Pencil Moulding?
The smaller size is one of this profile's main advantages.
At an actual 3/4" wide x 1/2" thick, it can create visible definition while remaining understated. That makes it particularly useful for layered trim designs where several profiles work together.
For projects requiring a more substantial accent, CR Doors also carries larger pencil moulding profiles. Always compare the actual dimensions to determine which size works best with your design.
Why Choose Knotty Alder?
Knotty Alder is popular for custom interior doors and millwork because of its warm appearance, distinctive grain, and naturally occurring knots.
Rather than creating the uniform appearance associated with paint-grade materials, Knotty Alder allows the characteristics of the wood itself to become part of the finished design.
It's particularly well suited to rustic, Craftsman, mountain, farmhouse, and warm transitional interiors.
Because Knotty Alder is a natural wood product, variations in grain, knots, and coloration should be expected.
