Thanks for the helpful info. I ordered a few to try them out. So does .25 give plenty of detail? When would you go with a smaller bit?
The Starke millwork links are an awesome resource. Thanks Jason

Hi Gene,
The 3.175mm ball nose bit with only 5.95 dollars?..Its very low-cost..Oh my God, its very cheap.... Thanks for sharing Gene...
Thanks to the "fairy godmother" for the file :D
Cut from 1.75" thick cachimbo stock, rough .5 ballnose 80% stepover .65 deep 1:05 hrs, finish .25 ballnose 10% stepover .08 deep (.73 deep total) 4:15 hrs, cutout .5 sq endmill .125 depth each pass ( this wood is hard) 39 mins. Kitchen valance 13.5" x 87".
Is that carving applied or carved out of 1 piece?
The ball nose most carvers refer to is rounded only at the tip and not up the sides of the bit as a core box might be. Here's an example from Centurion Tools: https://centuriontools.com/router_bi...d2=735&id3=769
