if careful you can start with a wood rasp, go gently. Then you can go to a
metal file, and end with fine sandpaper. You can make it all nice so that

board, or ply under it as well.

Hi Edward,
My dad and I used a four inch diameter steel pipe, buried about four feet
into the ground, and protruding about four or five feet up. We filled it
with cement, and painted it yellow.
