T&G Pine - Inside, Oustide Corners?


I've got a 10'x12' room to do in T&G, end-matched, 1"x6" knotty pine. Walls will be laid on the horizontal. This room has 5 inside and 1 outside corner. No big deal job. I'm just wondering if anyone has any unique or creative ways of dealing with the corners, (inside and outside)? If you have any tricks I'd sure like to listen. I'm always looking to make my work a little better. Thanks!

Depending on the room design/ window trim, etc...corner posts are an option. G

Some of these have gone well
butting into a vertical 1X2
then nailing 1X4s over top
to form an outside corner.
(Can rout a profile on the edges
or even use base or other
premade trim profile.)

The Haiku master has spoken.

(in my best Neolitic form)
I have ran 2 1x4s on the inside
and outside corners
and cut my T&G tight to it.
Its not easy though.
(Pain in the ass really)
In this pict ,
It was 1x4 vertical
and 1x10 for base,1x6 horizontal cedar,
as a chair rail,
creating a boxed/wainscot effect
with T&G pine in the space
that was left
on the bottom.
The color difference
in the cedar was
made up with stain,
since I had to use what I had
to work with.
(long story)
Wish I had more picts.

Mucho tight fits.
I'm too slow for anyone
to pay me for that any more.

Thanks man.
If it makes you feel any better,... the builder still owes me 4 grand for that job,(From 2 1/2 years ago), so I didnt get paid for it either.
Hold on,....??? No,... wait,...more like
Bankruptcy and all that.
Oh well......... Ill get over it. (one of these days).
