Default Cemetery columns finished

A continuation of this thread.

http://www.hauntforum.com/showthread.php?t=18169

I finished them up a couple days ago.
I made "two" tops. The piece permanantly attached to the column frame and a second top that the gargoyles are affixed to. I drilled four holes in this piece and will bolt them to the column on Halloween night. This will allow me to detach the gargoyles when I want to, in order to avoid vandalism or breakage. The gargoyles were purchased at Target a few years back. They sit on a piece of two inch foam which is then glued to the top piece of plywood. The columns received a new prime coat, two coats of drylock and a finish stain of watered down dark gray to give them an old streaky look. They came out pretty good. Can't wait to put them up with the fence! Thanks for looking.

Thanks BD. They ended up looking pretty close to old stone which is what I wanted.

I think those would look lovely at the end of our driveway. Of course, we'd have to change the name...

I almost bought dragons for these but the ones I liked weren't available. I had purchased these from Target a few years ago and used them for various things but now they have a permanant home!
