Try adding another piece of wood to the bottom plate, cut to extend about a 1/2" beyond the existing base in all directions. It will give you more height, a heavier base, and an interesting architectural detail. I'll sketch up something and show you what I mean next time we cross paths (I just love to draw ).
I can't just add more wood, I purchased 3/4" plywood with a oak veneer on it...and stained it too...much easier to get more PVC and ATR...would take about 10 mins to cut and assemble (not counting painting time for the PVC).
