It's called case molding.

4 1/2" is pretty wide.....most case moldings are closer to 2 1/2" wide.. not that you can't use the wider stuff, to me it'll look waaaayyyy to wide and look funny... you can use 3 1/4" as well.... take a look at what you have on your other doors and measure them...

I kinda thought trim would look better...

That is the jamb. It should be 4 9/16". The store may have stain grade but probably finger joint paint grade. You can make your own by ripping 1x6 and easing the outside edges.

Ahh... when you said door trim that's the trim that goes on the outside... what your talking about is the door frame/jamb..

Looks like a job for my new $99.00 saw...

No, its not a job for that saw, almost impossible to cut a straight line 8 feet with that. Not to mention how slow it would be. You would be better off with a circular saw and a rip or edge guide. Cut it smidgen over the desired width and then hand plane it to clean up the saw marks.

As for the jamb material, I'd look for clear white pine at the lumber yard. It wont be cheap, but it won't have any knots either. Poplar would work too, but only if you are painting, it won't take stain the same as the other trim pieces that are made from pine and will contrast with them.

Good point about taking a long time using that saw..

However it does cut a nice straight line when using the adjustable guide.

Jig saws are not designed for ripping. Have you tried holding a board 8 feet long steadily on that little table? I'll bet your line is not a straight as you would like when you have a long piece of stock to deal with - even if you have a helper.

I agree with you.

I'm just saying that saw will cut a straight line when needed.

Home depot and Lowe's both will rip the board for you. First cut is free at both locations if I remember right...

That is your "jamb" moulding, and chances are you will have to make it and round the edges yourself.
