A few dots of hot-melt or white glue

The crowns are long and must be done before the shorter window trims

... but for now, I will do just one set to test my plan
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown17_lg.jpg

Here is a good basic frame - with the top overhanging
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown18_lg.jpg

A hood would look good
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown19_lg.jpg
DHTMLGoodies.com
I will slice it in half
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown21_lg.jpg
DHTMLGoodies.com
Several gentle passes with a craft knife
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown22_lg.jpg

It is nicely cut in half
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown23_lg.jpg

... and rounding the corners
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown26_lg.jpg

That's looking better...
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown28_lg.jpg

Here is the frame, glued together with a square reference
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown30_lg.jpg

Now I have the design I want, I will cut and assemble 4 more
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown31_lg.jpg

dots of glue in the corners is enough
stripwood/SW16-2/StripwoodCrown33_lg.jpg

Lined up with the sill flat
