Build Decorative Items From Crown Molding

Chapter 15 - Decorative Flowerpots using compound miter angle cuts!

You will be able to build all of these unique items using the book,  Flowerpots & Birdhouse Chart or the Compound Miter Excel Program.

Don't throw away any of your excess crown molding you have left over. You can make any item you wish that will match the crown molding installed in the room.

This useful but elegant item was made from 4-1/2" crown molding. It is 6 inches in diameter and has 10 sides. The sides have a wall angle of 80 degrees and the lid has a wall angle of 10 degrees. The handle was purchased from a local hardware store. The bottom is made from 1/8" (scrap) paneling. Transfer decals can be purchased from your local craft store.

This 6" x 3" jewelry/trinket box was made from the center section of 4-1/2" crown molding. The box has 4 sides with a 75-degree wall angle. The matching lid has a wall angle of 0 degrees. The feet are 3/8" wood screw hole buttons.

This 2" x 2" pen/pencil holder is also made from the center section of 4-1/2" crown molding.

This is a 6" diameter ball that was made from 48 individual pieces of wood. It has 8 sides and six different sets of compound miter angles. This would make a nice lamp base or even a large-framed bedpost ornament.

Children and adults will be amazed at the projects you can build with the Crown Molding & Trim book,  Flowerpots & Birdhouse Chart or the Compound Miter Excel Program.  You will become a master of compound miter angle cuts in no time.
