This how-to guide will show you how to take a standard 6 x 6 pressure treated post and turn it into a nautical display that looks like real wooden pilings you’d see at a dock or marina. A table saw makes the cuts easy, but a circular saw could be used if you take your time and are careful. You can buy a 6 x 6 post in the lumber section of your local home improvement store like Ace, Lowes, or Home Depot. They’re usually wet and heavy when you get them, so let them dry for a week or two and they’ll be much easier to work with. You can use the pilings as attractive nautical displays. Add a solar light, wrap them with rope, or add some ornaments like crabs or seashells.
