I would like to put a hardwood cap on a halfwall but where the two pieces meet you get overlap at the mitre either above or below because of the angle. The cap are 90 deg to each other and on side goes down a stairwell. I tried to show this joint below. You can see (hopefully) in the example below that when the two pieces are butted together and lined up along the bottom you get overlap on top. If you line up the tops then I get excess on the bottom but this would be visible too. I was hoping to run a piece of trim underneath the cap but to make it even along the bottom the only thing I can think of is notching. I was hoping someone else might have some ideas or suggestions or even different way to do this. Thanks in advance KS
