I would appreciate any suggestions on the framing of Greek return cornices similar to the one in the current issue. the one we are building has the soffit returning on the gable end as well as the fascia and frieze. we are also using a 2x sub-fascia. it seems that the line of the crown molding on the return section will be lower than the front section. the return section has a flat top instead of an angle back to the gable wall

There was a pretty detailed article on this maybe 5 or so years back in JLC. Also, I think Bob Syvanen describes it in his book on "building a House" or something like that from Taunton.
