How you do inside corners of coffered ceiling? I do not like mitt them. But then is butt joint exposed. Now bottom board must be flat or lower then bottom of side boards. I will set molding at bottom of side boards. Any other idea?

Next time, preassemble your backer that you nail your sides to and cut two of everything. Then you'll have the bottom, glued up, pocket screwed, etc... Backer strips on your sides to provide a stop and you're done.
Photo that I did in a bar last night. Some 1/2 X 2" at bottom and look decent. Flash discovery that is a lot of putty involved. I guess they joint bottom boards with besquit. However bottom board is like 1x10. I do not have so much space but evidently a 1/2 x or molding at bottom make sense.

Bulb is just temporary. There will be some kind of pipe light.

definitely strange location for the light, but the woodwork's looking good
That's nice,what type of wood?
I would say top notch staff. I see same problem to cower butt joints. You had to do that molding at bottom and plus make bottom board flat with bottom of side board. It is time consuming at last in my case. Here one of my old coffered ceiling. I just run board through crosses. Did you use biscuits at joint of bottom boards?

How lucky you are to get nice custom work like that. People up East must be loaded. I'm lucky to sell a two piece crown with a picture mold on the ceiling around here. I've gotten a couple of referrals from a hardwood molding dealer I buy from.......but most people around here have cardboard in their house..............tragic
