Crown mould is a mother to install. Coping is the correct way to do it on inside corners, but that is a hard thing to master. I've retrimmed two bedrooms in my house with identical patterns, ie base, casing, chair rail and crown, but one in cherry and the other in red oak. When I started on the second room, I thought "JC, there's got to be an easier way!"

What I did was, I glued up and turned four finials large enough to cover the rise and projection of the crown mould, and mounted these square into the corners of the room first. Then it was simply a matter of cutting the crown, at a 90, to length, and letting it kill out into the sides of the finial. Sorta makes the room look like a big four poster bed.

Just a suggestion
