and alters the height of the shaft. Several
options are offered for wood columns.
Tuscan Capital And Base (Standard)
The Tuscan style is standard and best
complements the wood column. Tuscan is
available for all ROUND wood shafts.
Ornamental Capitals
Five styles of ornamental capitals are available.
Nothing makes a statement like wood columns
with an ornamental cap. 8”-12” ornamental
capitals for Round wood columns are load
bearing.
Using an ornamental capital with a wood shaft
will alter the height of the shaft.
Attic Base
Attic bases are used for a more ornate look
and comes in two pieces. The plinth (see DD
dimension in chart and the torus (EE)).
TIPS

appropriate base for the column.
