Look at an ogee on the front face of your window boxes.  I dunno if that bit set has one in it or not, but if so, shoot a little test run to see how much it'll dress it up.

Drew, I'm interested in this ogee bit you're talking about, but cannot envision how it would be applied to the window box.  Any chance you can find/draw me a picture of what you're talking about?

Thanks!

Rounded from which side?

BTW, I did end up ordering a pallet of 4x8 rough edged granite colored paving stones.  They cost more than I thought.

Exactly what I was wondering...

On the outer face of the window box right across the front face.  In that pic above, the stile (the horizontal piece across the top) has that exact look.  The only difference would be that you'd want the now-fancy edge at the top.  The bearing for that bit would ride right along the face of the front piece of the window box.

Just something OTHER than a standard roundover bit.  If you're gonna run it through the router, you might as well dress it up more than just rounding the edges, is all I'm really suggesting.

I'll consider that... I kind of like the rounded for this one, though.  Rounded on both sides of the edge.
