   Why not add a 3/4" by 1/4" filler strip to extend the jamb out to the drywall?

   Set the filler back 1/8", maybe 3/16" from the inside edge of the jamb to create additional detail and an extra shadowline.

   Glue with Titebond, and tack with a few brads.

   If paint-grade, use poplar...if stain, go with same-species.

   I am attempting to install my own window trim on a new house. What is the easiest way to get the window jam flush with the sheetrock when the sheetrock is out past the jam? I rasped the first one and it made a heck of mess. There has to be an easier way! The majority of my windows are inset around 1/4" from the sheetrock.
