I want to put up some new trim around windows and doors on the inside of my home. I was thinking I would just use 2 normal pieces cut at 90° on both ends for the sides. For the top I want to use a backer board attached to the wall, crown molding and then a header (top). I hope you know the style I am thinking of. First, I am going to stain the wood fairly dark. What type of wood do you recommend? I know oak is harder and more expensive than pine. For the backer and header what type of wood should I use...stain grade plywood or just a 1X6 or 1X4 stain grade?

If it were me, I'd use the same wood all the way around, if your after an "oak" look then it should all be oak.
Little about a lot and a lot about a little.
Every day is a learning day.
