MATERIAL & MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Western Red Cedar, Clear Heart Redwood, pine, poplar, & mahogany
are just a few of the popular wood species utilized for our Architectural
Wood Columns. If you desire another wood species, please inform us,
and it will be our pleasure to accomodate. To ensure that our wood
columns are of the highest quality, we process each order with
individualized care and attention. First, the column's height and diameter
are entered into our computer system which has been programmed to
calculate the exact proportions necessary to produce your beautiful
exterior wood columns and architectural interior wood columns.

COLUMN SHAFT

Plain, Tapered column shaft. The Empire's wood column shaft is
architecturally correct according to Vignola's classical column specifications.

Select, also, from our distinct column design shapes to match your interior

or exterior architectural specifications. We use Western Red Cedar, Clear
Heart Redwood, pine, poplar, mahogany, teak or any other wood species
desired. Wood materials are available in both solid board and finger-joint
form. Each column is made to your exact specifications. We recommend
using either finger-joint redwood or cedar for interior columns that will be
stained or left natural with a clear protective finish to display the grain of t
he wood.

CAPITAL: Design 136 is characterized by an Empire capital design.

Standard materials are polyurethane for the smaller column sizes and

are available for all sizes at an upcharge. We are able to replicate for historic

restoration if you have as much as a quarter of the existing capital including
