The task here was to build fieldstone encasements around five rectangular posts to a height of just under three feet, and to give the posts a taper.
The pillar caps are of Pennsylvania bluestone, purported to be around 360 million years old. The unstained wood pieces at the top of the tapers are nailers for trim. Trim will also be installed on their bases.
Boiled linseed oil was put to the bluestone, to help protect it and bring out its color. The final stain color will be darker, browner. My customer and newest friend is seen here to the left, inspecting his own pictures just taken of the works.
