Saw another thread on this forum with some really nice columns. I found some gargoyles at Target for $20 each and had to try to make some. Here's what I came up with. I still need to "age" them, but so far so good.
For a detailed look at how these went together, please check my sig for the link.
Thanks, Happy-Halloween!

Those are perfect! I picked up a pair of those gargoyles as well this year. Some of the nicest I've seen. Can't wait to see your columns finished

I tried aging mine, I think they will look ok at night.... but I was a little disappointed in how they turned out. After the holiday I may repaint them and try again....

When things settle down I will remove my "store bought" sign and replace with wood. (also I live the southwest, the only weather we get down here is "hot" and "not so hot", lol)
