Seems to work fine on baseboard. So is there something a bit different
about crown that the joint would look better as a butt joint?

The Tour Of Homes has been going on around here - been walking thru million
dollar (by non-California standards) homes. Have seen a few good looking
butt joints on crown and many crappy looking butt joints. All scarf joints
were very good looking (impossible to see on casual inspection.)

Could it just be the technique? Seems to me some trim folks who did butt
joints took the time to put them in an inconspicuous corner, took the time
to make them tight, etc.
