Mud and/or Tape Top of Half Wall?
I have a half wall which I'm in the process of finishing up.
For the top, I'm thinking of screwing on some 1x8 boards, adding any shims as needed to level it out. The 1x8 will over hang each side by 1 1/4" which I'll tack on with some moulding followed by caulk on all seams.
Does this seem like a reasonable plan? Do I need to mud and/or tape the top inside corners where the drywall meets the 1x8 before the moulding?

If you need more opinions than what you already got.... yes, cap it with trim. The top does not need drywall or corner bead. But finish the corner bead on those vertical corners before you apply any trim.
