What's the best way to make this trim

[Rob in Vancouver]

I saw this trim on a baby crib.
I have seen it before on other furniture but never knew what it was called.

Anyone know how to make it?  I thought perhaps on a router table?

Don't know a specific name, but are they just two different lengths with a switch in grain orientation? ... laid our and glued together. If so, you don't even need a router, just your saw.

Looks like a dentil moulding.

Probably because kids chewed on it when lead paint was in fashion.

It looks like you could use a standard finger joint jig if you lay the board down flat instead of one-end.

If you have a radial arm saw, that is a breeze to make. Put your dado stack on and set a flip stop to whatever. Distance you want between dados.

Not bagging on lead paint, but it is called dentil moulding because, horizontally, it looks like teeth.  Granted, teeth with big gaps, but it was named before the advent of modern dentistry.

I think the radial arm saw method would be the fastest/easiest, but if you don't have one you could make a tablesaw jig that uses a pin to set the spacing after the first crosscut pass.

If you want to separate yourself from the joy of making trim, it's not hard to find readymade online or in stores.
