Cut and Attach Decorative Brace

What happens here

Using a speed square to mark an angle, cut the top of the main cedar log post with a chainsaw to create a sloped top, adding a decorative touch and allowing water to run off. Then, attach a smaller piece of cedar log (the angle brace) to the main post, positioning it directly beneath where the mailbox will sit. The connection point for this brace requires a custom 'scoop' cut with the chainsaw to ensure a flush fit against the curved main post. Secure this piece using a temporary screw, then finish with permanent screws.

Goal: Add decorative and supportive elements to the main post
