    Can you cope an angle less than 90 degree

    Doing base and I have an angled wall that has a 22 degree angle to the other wall.

    Can the base be coped with a big angle to the backside or does both paces just need to be cut at the proper angle?

    Figured I could try it, but it might be less frustrating to just ask.

    Absolutely - back cut the first piece (longer run) to butt into the corner against the adjacent wall. Miter cut the coped end at half the angle needed (as if you plan to miter the corner). This will expose the proper cope line for the profile at that angle. You can then cope out the waste but may need a severe back cut angle to clear the other piece for obtuse corners. If the corner is an acute angle (less than 90 degrees), the back cut isn't a problem but you may need a jig to cut a shallow miter angle with some miter saws.
    The problem with education in the School of Hard Knocks is that by the time you're educated, you're too old to do anything.
