Paint Grade Stock Wood Columns  

Worthington offers two different types of stock wood columns to compliment your projects. The columns are made using a kiln-dried, finger jointed lumber. The colonial Stock Wood offers a straight taper, while the Classical Stock Column offers an architectural taper. The staves are assembled using tongue and groove joints and glued with Type 1 water resistant glue. After being turned, each shaft is completely sanded. The overall length includes the capital, shaft, and base/plinth.

Notes:

  • Allowable wood stress in compression parallel to grain is 800 PSI.

  • Allowable loads are axial loads with no moments.

  • Load Bearing capacity is dependent on the concentric loading of the columns.

  • 2nd story balconies should not be attached to wood columns without support. Contact Worthington for recommendations.
