Looks very nice Bill! Wouldn't mind doing something along those lines for us but would have to turn at least a 6 x 6 to be able to withstand the snowplows when they come thru! Nice work!

Snow plow`s, what is that? Here in Tx. we just wait a couple hours and it is gone. Do you folks live uo there when you dont have to? Pity. Max

Nice mail box post. I'm in the process of doing one myself from eastern red cedar.
Have to do it in three segments and am using a long tenon/deep socket to connect the pieces. Can't wait to see the reaction of my neighbors. I bet you got plenty of looks and comments from your neighbors. See any green envy in their eyes???:D

Very nice - I have wanted to do something like that but we have those ugly community mail boxes!

Bill, I bet you have the classiest mailbox in your area. This is one good looking turning. Thank you for letting me see it.

Nice looking post! What kind of wood and finish did you use?

Very nice--- now you need to do a hollow form large enough to replace the actual mailbox! :D

Thanks for sharing!

Great job Bill. My first thought was 'where'd he get a mailbox and yard backdrop that's so small'
