Looking good. Not sure if you did it or not, but I like how they did the trim on the bull noised corners in the house.

Good looking work MrTrim. That level of finish trim work is tough, but you sure make it look easy.

I always love the detail in your trim work. Not many people would take the time to cut two 22.5 degree angle for the corners especially in the crown never mind the baseboard. I usually cheat and toss in some kind of corner block.

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

Hey Trim, nice job.
I also like the double mitered crown. Nice effect.

It is nice to see some real trim work…I almost forgot you can do trim with something besides MDF.

Ditto on that crap from China. I used a piece a while back, you know… where it didn’t show. MY GAD! I was afraid it would “telegraph” through to my solid stuff it was so bad.

Keep up the fine work.

That must be the stuff that comes already cut for biscuits. Just cut into it anywhere and the spaces are already there!
