Easiest way to make it work is to cut one board at about 45 degrees, and stick it against the wall. Hold the 2nd, uncut board against the other wall under the first board. Run a pencil along the miter cut to mark the angle for the 2nd board.

I used this method on the shelving in my garage, as well as the top caps on some fences and planters around the house.
