We (in this case my dad) did some replacement pieces, the difficulty is that replacement wood does not come in the same sizes. There was definitely some fancy slicing and dicing to make this happen. Before we rebuild any more columns we will need a thickness planner.
Not bad, for an amateur! lol
I’ve got a thickness planner you can use. It’s called a jack-plane. (smiles)
Works even when the power doesn’t.
