Porch Post Profiles

Anyone know of a good resource for different architectural items/profiles, in my case porch columns?

I am trying to match a porch post the H/O wants to copy, but I can't get access to the post to measure, etc., and a photo is not good enough.

These will be custom turned real wood, but I've got to get some kind of drawing - is there some kind of all-inclusive database of post/baluster profiles, like there is for millwork/molding?

Figured I'd ask the experts on here - many thanks if you can help.
