But alas, life is too short to be like them. I have defended you in the past from mean commenters when someone attacked your plans and would not hesitate to do it again, as most of your readers would when called to arms.

My initial thought was for him to post the e mails of all the desenters and let US have at them. Glad to hear that Matt will be taking on the role of fierce protector.

The one on the left is what it looked like before sanding, and the one on the right is what it looked like after sanding. I did some sanding to round the flat bottom of the foot. One of them was just a big, round bun foot. I decided to use two styles of furniture feet, both of which I found at Lowe’s, and stack them.

So I decided to try to think outside the box and make my own fanciful finial. I found loads of big finials online, but I didn’t want to wait for an online order to arrive if I didn’t have to, plus they were anywhere from $40 to $80 each, which seemed ridiculous to me. I didn’t want a standard run-of-the-mill finial. I had in mind something made of turned wood (naturally, because I love turned wood), but I wanted them kind of big, fanciful and whimsical. I looked at all of the locally available, ready-made finials for outdoor posts (all of those three styles available locally 😀 ), and they just weren’t what I wanted.
