Where do you get wood mouldings like these?

I'm looking to edge the worktop on The Kipper, I need a deep profile and 90 degree curves like these - any suggestions for a source? Only problem is I have pointed corners and these can't be changed - help with a solution for the mouldings for that as well please.

Thanks!

This may be a dumb question but after speaking to Howells I would still end up with a 90 degree mitred corner. What I need perhaps is a fake teak moulding that will give a bit if you bump into it, one of the corners is opposite the companion steps. Any ideas?
 
You would need to clean the tabletop from time to time. Could you consider rounding the corners and then only applying the edging to the straight bits between the curves? I am assuming that the edging will be slightly proud of the table surface, rather like a low fiddle.
 
Think about how you would mitre the corners of a moulding and then cut them off a 90degrees to that. This gives you a straight line across the corner. You could then bond a flat mitred piece along that corner.

I want to imagine that but I can't - picture of something similar?
 
Ok. Could you live with 45-degree corners instead of the sharp corners? Just cut the corners off, aiming to get a flat edge of around 100 -120mm long where the sharp corner of the surface used to be. The ends of the straight edging are not that difficult to mitre, well enough for a decent fit. I am trying to avoid the expense of curved mouldings and the cost of having somebody to round off the corners for you.
 
don't forget to leave a small gap in the lipping so that water spills and crumbs can escape into a handily placed dust pan. :)
 
All that one needs to do is round the corner of the corrian at about 40-60mm radius then fix the teak edging so it is cut just short of the start of the curves - basically as suggested above. Slightly radius the ends of the teak. A short length of corrian would be showing but would look far better than poorly fitted mitres
if you are too inept at that then there is little point in asking how to do it in the first place. Surely you can find someone with a small amount of carpentry skills who can round the corner of the corian for you & screw the 2 bits of teak on for a pint of beer
