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.

When I installed my crown I installed it in layers so the dentils were
done separately. When you get to a corner try to space the dentils
evenly. I did not measure it, just did it by eye and it turned out
professional looking.
