So my camp sits on I beams screwed into 12 foot concrete pilings that are probably 6-8’ in circumference. When they poured them they used the tubes and they cured crooked. Not horribly but they need to be shaved and made to be more cylindrical.

Any thought on how to do this and what tools would work?

Les Miles has lost control of whether or not Herman Johnson was the largest baby ever caught in Louisiana or whether Kramer is Kim's son..

Hmm I would definitely consider hiring a professional. They need to be hammered straight and a guy like Jared Jones would probably have the bat speed to accomplish this, see if you can catch him at the ballpark for a quote.

First.... geaux to Tigerdroppings

Second.... scroll thru the forum listing's

Third.... make the appropriate selection based on your topic

Fourth.... make your post, and be specific on task and purpose

Fifth.... ignore all and post in the RANT vs the Home/Garden or Outdoor Board. Now go punch yourself in the face.

If you went from step 1 to 5....... you're that guy.

Why do they "need" to be made more cylindrical? Why are they not cylindrical to begin with, if you used sonotubes?

If they do not need to be made more cylindrical I would not "shave" them. If it's just for decorative purposes try covering them with a veneer: wood, vinyl or brick for a better look.

Try torpedo bats. They'll knock it out of the park.

Here’s the thing about tools. You can have them all and it still might not work out. Sometimes it’s just the wrong situation. See Paxton Kling

Peyronie's disease?
I found that gentle stretching exercises, combined with a device known as a column traction device will straighten the them out.
