An Old Salvaged Porch Post Gets a New Life as a Coat Rack
You can make really beautiful plant stands
I had a friend who used them as garden decorations with ivy climbing up and around them.
Maybe they could be used for bases of a pergola.
Love the plant stands. I was thinking candle holders or table base.
I saw an article where they repurposed fence posts by drilling a hole in the top and stuck in a cheap solar light. Maybe you could do that with the porch posts?
Use them in a garden to hang plants or just add interest.
If you want to use them at full height, you can use as a support for a bird feeder or add a bracket to hang plants.

Cut them into various heights and make candle holders out of them. You could make "sets" of 2, 3, or 4 of them & sell or give them away as gifts. You could make taller ones for use just setting on the floor as well. In some cases if you use a soft wire brush you can route out the soft wood to show the grain of the spindle and its especially beautiful.
Years ago I used mine for a flower bed liner in the front.
We used them to make an old kitchen table taller and turned it into a island.
