Custom hollow wood column with round exterior and tongue and groove construction for architectural use.

Hollow Columns

Hollow columns provide the look of a solid turned column while reducing weight and material usage. This makes them easier to transport, install, and integrate into architectural designs. Hollow columns are commonly used when a decorative column must surround an existing structural post or when lighter components are preferred for large installations.

Hollow columns are manufactured using precision stave construction, which creates strong, full-round columns with consistent profiles. Columns can be produced as complete units or as split halves, allowing installers to wrap them around existing wood or steel support members during installation.
