Wood has been used
to make columns for thousands of years. Unfortunately, only
stone columns have survived throughout the ages. These remaining
stone columns are majestic, elegant, and stately. Imagine these
columns made with the warmth of wood and you can get an idea
of the wood columns that you might want in your home or building
project. Then, think of walnut wood columns for the ultimate
in wood columns.
Columns made from walnut wood are characterized by having
a hard surface that can be finished with oil for a highly
polished surface. The color of walnut wood columns can range
from a light brown to a chocolate, purplish brown. While
walnut is prized for its natural colors, walnut wood columns
also take well to stains.
Walnut wood columns can be made to resemble the classical
columns of ancient Greece and Rome with flutes, or vertical
grooves, running vertically on the round shafts of the columns.
You can also request round smooth or square walnut wood columns.
The capitals, or tops, of walnut wood columns can be ornately
carved with ancient motifs such as acanthus leaves or can
be more simple in design.
The beauty of walnut wood columns can enhance the appearance
of your home or building project.
