Re: Crown.


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!

Re: Crown.


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.

Re: Crown.


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.

Re: Crown.


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..?

Re: Crown.


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?
