Legacy manufactures machines that will make columns up to 10 feet tall. You can see the CNC versions by searching for Legacy CNC on google or any search engine or you can see the manual machines by searching for Legacy Ornamental Mill.

those big columns in parliament are made of plaster. They are casted on moulds and reinforced with scrim. They are then covered in wooden casing, laquered and polished. :))
