Column Size
We can provide columns as large as 24″ in diameter and 144” long in one-piece construction, and even longer if produced in sections.
All columns are available in solid wood, stave (hollow), or split wood column construction to fit over structural columns that you may want to cover. Some columns are purely decorative, while others are for both structural and decorative purposes. See below for further information!
If your columns will be load-bearing, please let us know, and we can work with you to meet all structural requirements.
Some wood column options available include: architectural accents for mantels, kitchen islands, porch posts, pilasters, wooden roman columns, short wood columns, decorative coverings for structural posts, and more.

Types of Wooden Columns
Wooden columns come in a variety of styles, shapes, and construction types to suit different architectural needs. Solid wood columns are crafted from a single piece or laminated wood for superior durability and a seamless appearance, often used for structural applications. Stave (hollow) columns offer the look of solid wood but with reduced weight. Split columns are designed to fit around existing structural supports, commonly used in restoration work and decorative enhancements.

Choosing the right wood species is essential for ensuring durability, weather resistance, and more. Hardwoods like oak and mahogany are commonly used for interior staircases, newel posts, and high-end decorative columns. Cedar and cypress are ideal for outdoor applications such as porch columns due to their natural rot resistance and weather durability. Poplar and pine provide a smooth surface for painted finishes, making them great options for both commercial and residential projects.
