Hi
I have looked at a few of the posts and they look pretty technical so
this is probably a complete gumbo question but anyway!!....
I am about to start on my first diy project in our new house, renewing
the dado which has been REALLY badly done, it is a 1930's house and
one of the walls has quite a large curve on it.
I was basically wondering how I fit the dado around this? I have read
about cutting grooves in the dado but my very unexperienced logic
tells me the wood would just split?
Can you buy dado with grooves already cut?
Thanks

What sort of radius?

Wood bends a lot. If the saw cuts are at the proper spacing and depth,
the thin outer layer will just bend. Moistening can help too.
Unless the wall is a *real* curve with a relatively small radius you
should be able to just bend without relief cuts.

No idea.
