What is this pine strip that is in a 60s house?

[vickan11]

The molding is 4.5 cm wide and is installed throughout the house. I would need to complement it and do not want to replace everything.

Yes, it is a pine molding from the 60s-70s-80s sometime. There are an endless number of moldings like this, often produced fairly locally at some sawmill-planing mill. Getting hold of the same one in a lumber yard is probably impossible. Try neighbors with houses from the same vintage. Nothing in the attic?

No. Unfortunately, there's nothing like that lying around. I had hoped it was a standard molding that I could buy if I knew what it was called.

A local carpentry shop should be able to make an identical molding.

There are still firms that copy moldings but then it depends on quantity versus price. If you're lucky, there is already a steel, so you avoid the cost of producing a new one. Then it depends on the total amount if it results in a reasonable price.

that can be done with standard steel

if you need a lot you should talk to a planing mill or something similar

a smaller carpentry shop can probably produce smaller quantities

how much do you need?

Actually, I don't need that much. Just around a door.

I thought it would be easy to get hold of. I never even thought that it wouldn't be standard; I imagined that if I just knew what they were called, I would find it right away. Now that it turns out to be a custom order, I think I'll forget trying to find the same moldings.

Honestly, I don't even think they're particularly nice.

I think I'll switch to regular plain moldings instead. It's probably not something anyone will notice anyway.

The molding is 4.5 cm wide and is everywhere in the house. I would need to supplement and don't want to replace it everywhere.

Contact for example Sörgårdens hyvleri in Tibro, they specialize in different types of moldings including the ability to produce new knives (or modify an older one if necessary.)

Get a profile gauge, press it against the molding and send them a photo.

Thanks for the tip. Good to know how I can proceed if I choose to do that. But I'll probably just give up and go for a simple and easily accessible molding instead.
