Tapered Wood Column Wrap 6/12

Tapered Square columns are a great alternative to Non-Tapered columns which are more common. Our Wood Craftsman or Arts and Crafts Style Columns are made to wrap around an existing post support, or they can be free standing. They are not load bearing. They can be ordered in MDF, or in a variety of stain-grade wood species and are quick and easy to install and paintable or stainable.

Specifications 
6/12 Plain, Tapered Wood Columns: The Shaft is usually made from 1/2” thick MDF and as an option, can be veneered with your choice of hardwood. These panels use lock miter joints for easy assembly and are 11 7/8” at the bottom and 6” at the top, with the minimum opening being about 5” square. The shaft is shipped in four easy to cut-to-size panels that are shipped flat. We include MDF adhesive, tape, and installation instructions. All you need is a chop saw and basic carpentry tools to install.
This column comes with a Georgian Capital and Base (shown) which adds approximately 4 1/2" to both the top and bottom footprint of the shaft. The optional Box (Craftsman) Cap and Base are both about 3" high and only adds 1 ¼” to the shaft thickness. We recommend either the Box Base or Box Capital for applications that have limited space.
