spline and glue your pcs together then install. thats for the long straight pc. i like to take both mitered pcs and cut a dado out of the bottom ( usually half the thicknes of the trim ) then glue a good fitting block. the nice thing about the block is it also becomes a clamping surface, also makes drawing your miters together.
around the hearth. cut your 3 pcs LONG. lay the the front pc down in place, measuring distance from the wall on both sides. throw a pc of tape to hold in place. then place your sides where you want them, where they overlap, mark with a pencil or whatever, and cut.
