Crown moulding: what is the rule of thumb for sizing it to a room?

[Unisaw A100]

Jeez Jack, just what planet are you from. We all know, it's all about TGD.

Very good idea. Don't expect TGD to fall all over his self thanking you though.

Heh, heh, heh...

speaking of bandwidth; you've taken up your share today with nary a woodworking-related response. Fire your writers; you've lost your comic touch. Let's chat again when you hire fresh talent.

BEFORE I read your sophomoric post here, I'd already thanked Jack. I'm disappointed in you Keith. I know you are the brightest bulb on the string, but I didn't think you'd make such a faulty prediction of my behavior. Maybe we aren't the soul mates you thought we were? BTW, I'm gonna be pissed if I forget to get my beer out of the freezer...bye!

Well thank you Dave. That is very kind of you. Maybe your personality disorder wasn't as bad as I thought.

UA100, back with a whole new string of writing talent...

But you don't recognize a serious answer, when couched playfully, even when somebody hits you in the face with it.

The answer to your question is "what looks right *to*you*". You're the one who's going to have to "live with" the consequences of your decision.

Best thing to do is mock up a corner, in place, in each size. Then stand back and *LOOK* at it. See which you like better.

Robert,

I AGREE that the best approach is to buy small pieces of both sizes and try it. seeing as I'm using stained oak, I anticipate it will look "larger" than the same size white trim, but that's just a guess...

All the more reason to try it.

[Robert Bonomi]

I'd be _real_ surprised if it didn't. Dark against light tends to "show" bigger than light against dark.

Other significant factor for what 'looks right' is how high the ceiling is. the further up it is, the bigger the moulding you can get away with.

Hell, Bush is the first president that made me want to be a Democrat.

Now, if I could only find a Democrat that made me feel the same way.

why do you get me confused with folks who asked about what color to paint their shops??

Being a newbie at woodworking, I like to find out about standards, where they exist. Why chide me for that???

As far as "keeping track" of the miscreants, that's not quite accurate. I go into the filter screen to see how filled up the log file is. I love to see lots of crap there, knowing it doesn't show up on the Wreck. Crap like political and religious cross postings. Also in the list will be many posts by the miscreants to threads that I have started or participated in. I find them all quite pathetic, but I don't go out of my way to keep track!

To ME you appear to have a sense of humor. I don't think that there are many folks with NO sense of humor. Some just appear at a casual glance not to have any, but when you get to know them, it's apparent they do. My recently deceased father-in-law was a perfect example. To a stranger he'd appear grouchy, but he could be in a perfectly good mood and crack jokes, but he APPEARED (facial expression) to be really grumpy. I can see past the grumpy exterior.

It's too bad you've formed a negative opinion of me due to a some misunderstandings. I still don't wish you any ill will. To others that I've tangled with here, I regret I can't offer the same sentiment.

Thanks Steve. I was just about to forget all about that. His Shrillness though won't let me.
