Any other suggestions? dimensions should equal the inside dimensions of your oak surround. 2 - Cut these octagons in half. 3 - Cut a semi-circle into each half, the same radius as the radius of the pole. 4 - Pre-drill and screw these octogons around the pole at the top, bottom and in the middle. Use construction adhesive where needed to hold them in place. 5 - Place your surrounds against these octagons and glue/screw them to the supports. You must Sign in before you can post messages.
