bobbo... I have painted carved balsa to look like poured footings using floquil "aged concrete". The water based paint raises the grain a little to give some good texture. I think the main thing to keep in mind is what sort of marks would the forms leave on the column, and would anything be done to modify it - most piers today are very smooth, even though they are cast on-site in a form.
