I've just put some cheap T&G pine cladding on a ceiling to cover up the mess
that's there. Looks fine, but the edges where it meets the corners/walls need
finishing.
Any ideas for a cheap and effective way to do this? The gaps are too wide in
places for caulk. I was thinking of cutting one of the boards down into 1cm
strips, but I've used up all the long pieces.
Cut a "shadow gap"?

Impressive. Must get me one of those. But meantime, given the uneven walls, >> I'll go with the moulding suggestions upthread.
The saw follows the wall, so the gap is (pretty much) the same all round.
I can see it could look neat - and would help with the wood expanding/contracting.
Instead of that dedicated tool, a biscuit jointer works as well, and has more uses than a specialized saw you might only use once.
I used to have a biscuit jointer, and used it for a number of things - routing skirting gaps for flooring ISTR. Not often for biscuits for some reason.
