Capping a half wall

Ive been working on a house for the past few weeks doing all of the doors, cabinets, case, base, and other trim work.  There is a small double stairway partitioned by a half wall.  Im giving it a cap, and some under cap trim to finish it off.  The cap is a simple 1x8 prestained poplar, and the under trim is colonial stop, also stained.  Here is the progression of pictures...




Starting at the top, this first corner is not a 45, but close (the rough framers were not totally square with their work - whats new right?).  But my job is to make it work.  Ive biscuit jointed the miter.

Fitting the next piece...
