Thanksgiving wreath or an homage to a delicious orange? Probably both.

You might not have much behind the drywall. So we use a pneumatic nailer to get an X-nail connection to the ceiling. Check out how to X-nail, and more reasons why Mark uses this technique for crown molding, in this quick tip video.
