Miters on Crown Molding, Etc...

would do it in solid lengths. Get three or so pieces of wood from the floor to the bottom of the crown to wedge it in . small gaps at the ceiling will not show if worst comes to worst .

Cope all inside corners that will solve the angle problem there and on the outside corners cut them a degee or so over 45 and caulk the inside of the corners if required..............

Hi Freddie,

I am working on some crown in our family room with cathederal ceiling & wierd angles. I found Wayne Drake's book at:

It might be worth a glance for your situation.

it's a good thing you ceiling isn't plumb... : )

I'd probably hold the crown down from the ceiling a bit and run the pieces as long as possible, fairing out the wall as necessary to make the junction look right

One way to go, is to use full-length mouldings which, when used together, build up to a crown. The smaller cross-sections conform easier to irregular walls. Some of the smaller composite mouldings like the coves are very flexible. Most of the crown mouldings for sale are copies of the old-style built-up stuff from yesteryear.

YMMV

Thanks for the quick answers. I reckon I will go with long pieces, as has been so thoughtfully suggested. Found a good miter table on the De Walt site:

Thanks for the help gang!
