I want to install a crown molding that has a dentil detail. I'm comfortable
with coping the typical crown molding that has the popular ogee type
profile.
To cope this molding with the square detail of the dentil detail, do I
follow the cut edge with my coping saw just as I would for the rounded
common molding.
I'd rather not capitulate and install the corner blocks unless I have to.
I'd like to install the crown with the dentil and cope it and make it look
nice and solid and professional.
Any tips will be appreciated...
Thanks.

What I usually do is rip the dentil off of the crown and then cope the
crown normally.

The dentil is then added back and mitered.
