How to Work with Wall Panels

If your frame has extended rooms (‘bump outs’) like the one shown in Figure 17, it’s still quite easy to panel. You’ll just need to cut a miter along the vertical edge of your panels.
The easiest way to panel around a ‘bump out’ is to cut your panels to length first, then cut their mitered edges. Next, hold your panels in place by hand to check accuracy of your cuts. When everything fits together well, remove the panel piece, pre-nail, and then nail the panel onto your frame.
