Installing baseboard trim is a challenging endeavor that takes years of practice to become proficient. The angled cuts, the slope of the floor and the irregularity of the walls all work against you as you try to get those tight, even corner joints. One remedy for this problem is the use of corner blocks.
We typically install oiled 1×4 hemlock baseboards in our houses, so we use 1-1/8-in. sq. stock for the corner blocks. The extra thickness leaves a nice reveal where the base intersects the block and hides inconsistencies in thickness. To make the blocks, we first bevel the front edge of a long piece of stock with a power planer.

Nail base moulding in place with finish nails, starting at outside corner and moving toward inside corner. Push inside corner tightly against base moulding (see #3 in illustration above). Nail in place.
If the corner doesn't look quite right after rolling it closed, you can smooth it out with a little sandpaper or a fine file. I opted to ease all the corners in my house—even the ones with a perfect fit. A corner with a perfect 90 would not only be more prone to denting or chipping but would be extra brutal on a stubbed toe.
Clamp your baseboard securely to a work surface. Next, with your coping saw held at a slight tilt forward, make a cut-out along the profile of the baseboard. The forward tilt will enable you to “back-cut” the baseboard. It might be helpful to make an outline first with a pencil, so that you can follow the line.
