TNCENTRR and PATTERNPILOT, the molding is made out of solid pine. I used a strip wood cutter to cut mine, though I found that some was easier to cut that way than others. I see that Home Depot has it available https://www.homedepot.com/p/Wo...ing-109605/203898775. Lowe's may have gone to only plastic. Menard's has it too.
You can make a lot of ties cheaply.
