What are facts about the support pillars in the globe shakespeare theatre?

Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, which opened in 1997, is a replica of the Globe Theatre which was built in 1599. Two giant pillars support the roof over the stage. The pillars are 24 feet high and are each built (as is the crossbeam they support) from the trunk of a single oak tree. The centre of the pillars have been hollowed out using a hand auger. The capitals have been carved with acanthus leaves to resemble Corinthian Capitals, and are gilded so they look like solid gold. The pillars themselves are painted to look as if they are made of marble. They were lifted into the theatre by crane after the walls were constructed, since the centre of the theatre is open air.
