  You mean to tell me the new pieces are made from scratch? 😳 Good job OP

    Not trying to undermine the job, but fortunately the posts are not carved, you can just cut decorative pieces to size

      Yeah, pretty straightforward job. As long as things are held together with screws - preferably stainless with a Torx head - they’re easy to both assemble and take apart.

    Well yeah, they’re just planks. Mostly I just cut them to length, but for some I traced the more complex silhouette onto the new piece and then cut it out with a combination of circular and reciprocating saw. Pretty straightforward job, to be honest.

    Not trying to discredit OP’s great work in the slightest, but those post caps are just two square pieces of wood stacked on top of each other and painted to match. 😆
