drywall to wood transition
 

What's the normal drywall to wood transition done with? By that I mean when
drywall finishes/ends at a wood beam for instance so that you have ehhh
I'll have to go with a picture this is too complicated to describe

Bad drywalling aside, where drywall ends and wood begins how is it normally
transitioned? I'm thinking corner trim moulding, but are there other
alternatives?

Plastic "J" bead is commonly used as a finish cap on a drywall edge, be
it exposed or butted against another material. It's paintable to match
the drywall.

Oh you mean an endcap that goes over the drywall. I hadn't thought of that.

Yeah the more I think about it the more obvious that solution becomes.
Basically its an end cap for the drywall sheet to prevent the drywall from
crumbling with age or absorbing water from the air. It's actually even
nicer because it helps hold the drywall together when you have to put screws
into it close to the edge. Normally that isn't a problem when you have two
sheets butted up against each other, the tape and the mud will keep it
intact. But on the outside edge you don't have anything to keep it from
pushing out/buckling under the screw. The J channel would give it some
structure and keep the drywall protected.
