Where's the best place within an hour or so of Huntsville to get crown and baseboard molding? Doing some remodeling and need to pick up a bunch. I know that Lowe's and Home Depot mark up molding a ton.

I’d use MDF instead of “real” lumber. It doesn’t expand and contract nearly as much and if you paint it, you can’t tell the difference anyway. Plus it comes in longer lengths than wood. Any local lumber store will carry it.

Back prime the wood before you cut it and seal cut ends to reduce shrinkage. MDF can be good, but if it gets wet it's garbage.

Hadn't had any problems when I cope joints. Butt them and they will always shrink and show a gap.

If you buy crown or base from a salvage company, make sure every piece is just like the others. Measure every detail.
I learned the hard way. Yes MDF comes in long lengths, but it's hell to put up without a crew because it lacks stiffness.
What you gain in purchase price you loose in labor.
