Wood columns contribute
the natural warmth of wood to any building where these columns
are used. In addition, wood columns have a texture that adds
to their visual and tactile appeal. If you are considering
columns for your building project, take a look at pine wood
columns.
Pine wood is a traditional favorite. Pine wood colors run
from cream to yellow to reddish brown. The grains of pine
wood vary from tight to broad. In some cases, pine has to
be treated before staining and looks terrific painted. While
pine is a softwood, it is well suited to heavy duty jobs
like columns.
You can choose from a variety of designs when using pine
wood columns in your project. You might choose paired square
columns to make a statement at an entryway. You might like
classical Ionic order columns, with beautiful fluting, or
grooves, running vertically on the shafts and paired scrolls
on the capitals. You might enjoy a style that is more ornate,
such as one that uses stylized acanthus leaves on the capital.
The choice is yours.
