Martin,
Mark's reference to architectural moldings reminded me that there is another very comprehensive book on moldings - though they would most need to be scaled to be used in furniture:

From the Publisher:
An invaluable resource for creating graceful interiors, this complete handbook liberates woodworkers, builders, architects, and homeowners from the limited selection of mouldings available at home centers by providing detailed information to help choose, purchase, install, and manufacture wood mouldings. Detailed instructions on the processes used to make crown, picture rail, window casing, panel, and baseboard and base shoe mouldings, and full explanations on how to cover the gap where two surfaces meet while creating beautiful interplays of light and shadow are included. In addition, profile drawings, with accurate, full-size cross-sections of each moulding—many with three-dimensional renderings—show woodworkers how the mouldings will appear when installed.
