Looks straight to me. The shadow on the vertical cut (right side of the return piece) looks a little odd, like maybe you moved the miter on the og looking piece? Still looks damn awesome though, nice work!

Thanks, I was down to the last small chunks of crown. It an inside 90 ans then an 1 7/8 over the 22 1/2 corner starts. Hardest corner I have done so far. Was not sure if it was right or not.

Looks very sharp I think I would have had to ad an extra day in the bid for that corner alone

It looks just like the one Tom R mocked up a little while ago.

great corners from all to bad most of the time they fall into the price of a standard corner or do you try to get extra for them..?

Great job BK,
I'm sure that your miter saw didn't give you that sharp of an angle (60 degrees?). How did you cut it?
