Texas Governor's Mansion Columns Completed

Well, we finally did it!  We finished up the columns!  Here are a few of the steps we did to complete the columns. 

 

 

We had a total of 4 columns and column bases to glue up and machine.  This is how we glued up the rough blanks for the column bases.

 

 

Here is a video showing how we used a shop made jig on our shaper to turn the large diameter bases.

 

 

After a bit of shaper time, the column bases are finished!

 

 

Here are a couple of pictures showing the finished column height and three of the finished columns standing, awaiting the delivery truck.
