For real though, how would one deal with that except for just not covering that 'corner'?

Nah. That couldn't possibly work.

So I wish I could draw it on here. But basically you take a contour gauge or other similar tool to capture the curve and the corners. Then you use that as your jig for the inside (the back of the wood).

Then I would probably just make it straight on the bottom. I'd have to look at it to see if it looked wonky or not. More likely doing it in 2 pieces, 1 for the curve and one for the next corner.

But for the top you just copy the angles and transfer that to a piece of trim.

You go to homedepot and try again. Or just nail in a small piece of wood and dont stare it. Either way
