Wrapping the column with PLAM won’t work. Aside from the problem of gluing it on, you’d never get the joints flush. It would be possible to make a column cover of bent plywood with a PLAM face. The two halves could be tongue and grooved so they could be glued together with no visible fasteners. A 3/4" tube with 1/4" of shim space behind it would probably work.
Mind you, I have no idea who would make it for you, but I’m confident it could be done.

Randall, take a look at Altro Whiterock - http://www.altrofloors.com/Walls.aspx. I don’t know if it can be formed in radius or not. If it can, it may be a good alternative for you.
9 out of 10 cats agree, wrap this sucker in gray “industrial” carpet like a disco from the '80’s and make it the scratching post it deserves to be.
…and play ‘Cat Scratch Fever’ over the intercom?
thank you for the ear worm…
Scratching post! I like it!

Alan and Paul, what did I say to earn such … feedback?
That does it. I’m buying you both beers next time I see you.
Randy,
Take a look at PermaBase Flex. Its a flexible 1/2" cement board that can take a 6" radius. It can be skimmed with setting compound or gypsum veneer plastered. Plaster will require a bonding agent like Larsen’s Plaster Weld. I think you will like the results. Tom
