Close-up of the intersecting diamond panel. Assembled as one piece before installing. Matched sticks make up each T&G 'V' . Pocket screws helped in this crazy glue up.

Corner close-up. i duplicated the casings and 'madonna titties' from the home's originals. Small crown is a smallest of 3 sizes i did for the the whole project. the top piece is removable for future generations to paint the walls via 3 brushed brass bolts and a snug fit.
