It is very similar to the third molding shown on this site: http://www.invitinghome.com/Crown_Mo...lding_List.htm While it is possible to match the pattern when making a scarf or butt joint, it is not possible in the corners. What is the best way to handle the inside and outside corners? Just make the cut and match the best you can? Use some caulk to feather in the mismatched contours? Show guests your new crown molding with the lights dimmed? The two options I can come up with a (1) Carefully pare off enough of the pattern at the corners to get to a blank space, and have featureless molding through the turn. (2) Use corner blocks. |
