Crown Molding

A good friend had helped build this kitchen addition onto a home and, after the cabinets were up, the homeowner wanted Crown Molding to finish it.

The molding had been purchased but was a bit short by a half an inch so my friend as me to see what could be done and if I'd be willing to do it.  I suggested bringing the ceiling down, so to speak, but placing 1x4 above the cabinets and then trimming the top.

If fit well and was a real pleasure to work with wood again.  A lot of things today aren't real wood but this Crown molding was maple and a pleasure to work with.

The homeowner aloud me to take these other pictures too so my wife could see the kitchen.
