Need trim that is 50mm

[Klicka]

I need to reframe two doors. I need trim that is 50mm, but I can only find 43mm as the closest. What should I do?

Maybe I should add that I don't have a table saw. I have a jigsaw and might buy a hand router. I could roughly cut a wider piece with the jigsaw and then smooth it with a routing (using a straight piece as a template).

In the lumber section, buy planed timber. Available in various dimensions, buy the nearest larger one you can find, e.g., 70 mm x 28 mm. Draw a line at 50 mm, cut with a jigsaw as straight as you can. (Or use a rip saw, but I assumed you didn't have one). This is the side AGAINST the frame. Soften the visible edge with a small plane + sandpaper, or just sandpaper. Cut and install. Seal with latex or wood filler against the frame where you failed with the sawing. Prime, paint. Done.

One option is to use two slats that together are 50mm (like 35 + 15). It works well and is easier than splitting if you don't have a rip saw.

A real construction store splits them for you at a small cost. Done in a jiffy!
