6" diameter and just over 10' long porch support posts. The joins were where details were so as to disguise them.

I made a 14 foot Totem pole ( turned and carved ) for a friend to put in their front garden,in 28" ish sections,trouble is,they never got around to putting it up,I glued and screwed it all together for them to,all they had to do was dig a hole and put it up,then they moved,so don`t know what happened to it.
welcome to my woodturning world
