Robert thank you for posting as this is just another great example of what is possible using your imagination and a kreg jig to aid your work.   Any time someone can build something using angles that result in a successful venture it is something of worth celebration and sharing.  This is especially true as this not done with just an angle but is also a tapered or compound angles adding to the complications in joining the pieces.  I think this worth exploring as you seldom see this sort of work posted on the community and hopefully it will stir up some ideas with someone.

I have build many circular columns using the kreg jig but never one with that has compound angles such as a tapered column.  All the tapered columns that I have made is done using a "birds mouth bit. and glue.   These were for such things as support posts for roofs on porches and such things as a two part (split) where you need something other that common square wrap around skirt to hide steel support post in heavy constructions.  I have used tapered columns as supports under bars in cabinet construction and such.   I am anxious to try Robert's method using the kreg jig for a tapered column.

Thank you for posting and I can imagine the idea being used in gardens making stools and other décor for out door living .
