OK, some of the math genuises give me a better fix than my trial-and-multiple error approach to exterior crown.
I’m dealing with an old Victorian, 11/12 pitch roof with a continuous crown running around the house and up the gables. At the corner of the gable, matching the crown is a nightmare. The crown follows the gable down to the corner and turns the corner. How do I figure the angle where the semi-vertical crown mets the horizontal crown at a more or less 90-degree corner?

Jay,
Have I got a treat (okay, a few of them) for you!

*Hey Mongo,Thanks for the archive links. After sorting through all that debris, I think I may have found the answer I'm looking for. I'll drink a cold one while doing the math in your honor.-JH
*You found an answer in all that carnage?Glad to have been able to help you out.
*Jay, Your question sounds like a problem I had on a neo-classical front entryway. The eave crown mould had to intersect a rake crown mould. My solution was to make an eave crown to match the rake's slope angle profile. The solution worked out perfect and you couldn't tell that the to crown mouldings were the exact same profile.
