Abstract
A decorative cover for a post having a hollow body. The hollow body includes a continuous wall having a substantially uniform thickness, and a cavity having at least one undercut that would prevent a core from being pulled from the cavity. The decorative post can be manufactured by providing a mold, introducing a liquid thermosetting resin within the mold, rotating the mold about first and second axes, curing the liquid thermosetting resin as the mold is rotated to form a body with a substantially uniform wall thickness, and removing the cured liquid thermosetting resin from the mold.
