So the request is to make 4 new capitals for some wooden columns, this is the sample I was given:

Some of it hasn't been eaten, enough to make a plan:

The scale:

The plan, at this stage, is to laminate pieces together (vertical) to make up the volume (I'll use bigger sections) which won't give me end grain as such:

I have 155mm over my lathe bed, so will just fit, without the square section though.

By the way, I don't do much wood turning so this will be a massive learning curve.
 
Richard Findley does quite a bit of this sort is stuff. If you can find some of his videos there's a lot of good information about glueing up multiple pieces for a project.

Looks interesting and hope to see some finished pics
