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

I could download the pdf but nothing in the pdfs was clickable or downloadable for me.

You have to download the sections pdfs. The numbers are clickable there. Hope that helps

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
