Thanks, Tom. It only took 4 extra trips to get more lumber due to the cutting mistakes, making the project ~$100 more than it should have cost. I was used to single profile crown molding and unknowingly picked up some double profile. It's supposed to cut down on the scrap. Supposedly all one has to do after a corner cut is flip the board over and cut the opposite bevel and the scrap is a 1/2" wide sliver rather than a 5" wide "V" shaped scrap. Who Knew? Apparently not me! The other expensive mistake was the dentil piece at $30 a stick, I marked the top of the board for the width I needed rather than the bottom... All rookie moves, but I haven't done wood working like this in over 5 years. The finished product looks nice and Mrs. Classic couldn't be happier - 5 years of hinting and bugging finally paid off for her.
