If you're interested in going the DIY route for stuff like this, take a look at Makeville Studio (www.makeville.com). There is a class coming up on how to do architectural woodwork like baseboards, trim and crown molding.

Thanks, Nick! I know you were looking for more advanced instruction so I just wanted to add that we'll soon be offering some classes in traditional furniture making (using hand tools and machines).
These will be six to eight session classes where you go through the entire process--preparing a cutting list, selecting and milling the wood, cutting, joining, assembly and finishing.
Anyone else interested in classes like this?
