Andy,

I really appreciate the time. I don't think you misunderstood. You're
only mistake is assuming that I know more than I do! LOL. I would
really appreciate it if you could elaborate on your response. I don't
own a router (yet!), so a roundover bit is foreign to me.

Here's my project. I'm installing some of those precut (like 30 or 36"
tall by 5' long) finished bead boards that you can get at Lowes in a
hallway. I have an outside corner to deal with. I found a piece of
trim with a lip on it the thickness of the bead board that will fit
nicely on top of the bead board. As for the corner, I realized that if
I run the board clear to the end of the wall and put an outside corner
trim over it, then I'm in trouble with the top trim. There would be no
way to get the top trim over the corner trim, as the corner trim sits
on top of the board making it impossible for the top trim with a 3/16"
lip to cover what now is nearly 1/2" projection. Plan b was to install
the corner trim first and then butt the bead board up against the
corner trim, effectively eliminating the problem of different heights.
Can anyone suggest other ideas?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but why not use a router with a
roundover bit to handle the transition at the corner (routering the beadboard,
of course), and forget about the trim piece?
