Okay, I still haven't figured it out, but I have taken a couple
pictures:

1. This is the sloped wall I'm dealing with, from the floor

and head on

2. Here is one of the test crown cuts I made. It more or less
follows the slope of the wall (only the right side matters here, the
left side of the crown was cut for another test piece!)

3. Here is the test piece from the end. It goes back to the wall at
45 degrees.

I need to make a return to finish off that end, but it also needs to
follow the slope of the wall. I'm not trying to wrap around the
corner. The ceiling is flat. (Well, its a little bumpy, but its
*supposed* to be flat.)

Does this clarify the situation? Any new suggestions? Thanks!



I believe your best bet will be to *fill in* the angled slope first so
that it resembles a standard plumb wall.
The molding is made for a 90 degree (ceiling/wall) application, so you
are not going to be able to intersect those angles unless you build
out the 37 degree void.


Yes,it cannot be done the way your are thinking,you're going to have put a
square section so that it hangs down at 90 degrees to the wall.
And to be honest this will look a lot better.
