I probably should have though about this before I built my stage and riser, I guess I learned my lesson for next time.
My question is, what do I do in order to get a bullnose around the top edge of the riser and stage? Since I built them without one. Is it necessary? Will carpet wrap around a sharp top corner? I thought I could just buy bullnose molding however I haven't been able to find it.

I used a router with a round over bit. I also forgot to put a bullnose on until after the fact. I only rounded to top edge and left the bottom square. It turned out looking fine after carpet was installed. See my build thread for details.

Thanks Jeeper
Seems simple enough I will have to add a 1x2" fir along the front as I didn't even leave an overhang. Then router it.


btw checked out your build... Very impressive

i used a 2x2 in my first theater, glued and screwed in place.

Oh if you don't even have the overhand yet, then you can do a full bullnose. Just put a roundover on both sides before you attach it to the stage and/or riser.

I did the same thing with a round over bit. The carpet guys told me if I didn't, I'd end up wearing out that portion of the carpet much quicker than I should.

Edit - Ah, crap. I don't know how I ended up on such an old thread. I didn't even notice the date before I posted. Whoops.
