I'm not sure what you mean. The vertical boards are now 6/6. After
hitting "send", I realized that another option for the crown molding
would be 4/4/4 rather than 2/8/2. Is that what you meant??



Fewer seams are better. Cut the joint/seam at a 45 degree angle so that if
the joint open up a bit it will not be an open hole. Also cut the 45 so
that you do not look down into the joint at that 45 degree position.
Basically have the joint point away from the normal viewing angle.



Usually fewer seams is better. I had one wall 15 feet long and that
is just too long to accurately cut to length (one inside coped, the
other an outside corner). I installed 10 feet, then the other 5 foot
piece to the outside corner with a scarf joining the two. The 5-foot
piece can be easier to fuss with to get a perfect miter fit.
