You’ll probably be using 1x6 lumber. This should be kiln-dried, to minimize warpage. If you’ll be using wood stain or some sort of clear coat or varnish, you’ll want to make sure that your wood is approximately the same shade.
Measure twice, and write down those measurements, before ripping away.
There’s a great gadget for finding studs beneath the wallboard to nail on to. It’s called a stud finder. It has rows of little yellow and green lights and emits a beep to indicate there is something solid and denser underneath. Indicate studs with light pencil marks.
To attach the baseboard to the wall, lay a zig-zagging bead of construction adhesive and use a couple of finishing nails at each end of the board and perhaps a just a few more in the middle.
Sand the comers. A power saw cuts so crisply that the thin edges of the joint might be prone to chip. Rounding these edges ever-so-slightly improves damage resistance.
Use a nail setter on the exposed nail heads and apply touch of wood filler on the holes. Fingers work fine. Then, paint or stain.
