Ornamental Plaster
    The most common methods for the production of ornamental plaster are running with a knife or casting in a mold. Moldings made with a knife are either run in place or run on a table and then applied. Below is a photo of a plaster knife used to run a crown molding. This knife was designed to run moldings on a table, note the guide strip at the left of the knife. This runs along the edge of the table. Knives were also used to run moldings in place such as  crown molding. Also below is a photo of the mold use to cast the gilded plaster sphinx picture beneath it. Note that the mold consists of 2 parts the box or mother and the urethane mold.
