Cutting Moulding for Rounded Corners

6-1-09

    When most people think about putting up some moulding the first thought is simple mitering. Some mitering is not that simple, sometimes it's not just cutting a piece at a 45 degree angle. What happens if your walls have rounded corners? This is where mitering gets a little bit tricky, but not impossible. 

    Three pieces will need to be cut for one corner:  one piece for wall, one piece for going over the corner, and another piece for the other wall.

    This method was just for one corner, a wall with both returns will be five pieces. Hopefully this gives a little bit more insight on how to get those pesky rounded corners.
