Thank you Calvin, you advice is always timely and generous.

I am going to try with the regular 1 X 5 X 12 piece (that is slightly rounded) and take it to a lumber place and have it ripped to 1 X 4.5 X 12 or something like that, getting rid of the rounded egde that way.

Now, how should I paint it, because since I am cutting the primed MDF, it will be bare and no longer white?  What should I use on baseboards?
