A study in a large house. Ceiling is 16 feet off the ground (lost a lot of weight climbing up and down the scaffolding as I work by myself) Interior designer wanted raised panel look with clipped radius corners on large panels. Decided to add a solid strip around each panel to avoid the applied moulding look.

REALLY awesome work. Radius corner panels are a cool look.

The little triangle in the coffered ceiling must have been fun.

With your rail frames pre-assembled off site, how did you handle the inside corners in the room?

Did you leave the outside rails wide to scribe to imperfect walls?

Maybe shimming off the walls to tighten the corners? I don't see a scribe mold.

Thanks Rob

The little triangle was tough with the crown as the miter was very long. I ended up cutting it on the table saw with a sliding jig

I actually screwed the inside corners on all but one corner in the room. I stood the frames up and screwed from the backside and then slid the whole assembly (pounded with hammer on one very tight spot) into place and then screwed to wall.

Had to do some shimming as walls were out of plumb. On the outside corners I mitered the long stile on my table saw and then biscuited and glued on site.

Walls out of plumb? Bet you've never seen that before! Of course when you have a wall that's 16 feet tall that whole "Out of plumb" thing can make for some real problems.

Magnificent work, by the way. Very nice.
