        "text": "Finish carpenters use scribing techniques, shims, and decorative moldings to hide crooked walls and out-of-level ceilings. Walls in both older and newer homes are rarely perfectly plumb. A carpenter runs a compass or scribing tool along the wall profile to transfer the exact contour onto cabinet filler strips, end panels, or molding. The piece is then planed or back-beveled to seat flush against the drywall without forcing the cabinet box out of square. At the ceiling, two-piece crown moldings with adjustable backer boards conceal variable ceiling heights without visible gaps.",
