t_brown home | projects | blog 4 posts in 17 days 17 days ago	I am looking for any suggestions on hollowing out about 8” down from the top of a 4×4 post. I am interested in mimicking the deck railing post in this picture. The only idea that i can come up with is to use a large Forstner Bit, however this won’t leave me with a square hole. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks
