7' X 8" Stop Fluted Wood Columns
I wanted to share with you how I create column work. I had to edit this as it was out of sequence- These are 7'x8" staved pine columns with stop flutes and were being used to cover lally posts , they were saw split and then reassembled around the lally poles with tightbond III. the pictures are form start to finish of the columns being made. The pine boards were run through the planer first and then continued from there:
First step was cutting/milling the wood: length 96"/-staves cut at 22.5 degrees @ 2" diameter from toe angle. Last edited by PrestigeR&D; 02-14-2010 at 05:11 PM. Reason: edited post- out of order-sequence |

Re: 7' X 8" Stop Fluted Wood Columns
There were 2 of these being used for end walls- one wall was recessed at that point- hence the extension carried out on one end of the 1/2 column identical to the column profile:

Re: 7' X 8" Stop Fluted Wood Columns
Framerman, that is my pride and glory on my ship- my 1909 Olver 20C pattern lathe- I have the total snap shots of the refurbishment and updates that were made since I took ownership of her--long long detailed story,- it is a wonderfull piece of machinery, I just wish i could find more that are doing this type of turning ??I have so much I would like to discuss and not many that are doing this,,,sad actually -I know 2 people - we talk , but they feel the same way- it's a lost art - everything is CNC - there is a Oliver 26AC up for sale now, they replaced it with all CNC equipment and have no use for it- new the 26AC sticker price was a whopping $78,800.00 and now it's going for $9,000.00 to start - it's a steal as far as I am concerned-but, as I say- it's a lost art.

Re: 7' X 8" Stop Fluted Wood ColumnsQuote:
PrestigeR&D, sad but true. Much of the craftsmanship of the trades is getting to be a thing of the past. No one wants to learn, instant gratification and always looking for someone else to do part of the work. I knew of one guy in Carson City, Nev. that did some beautiful turned column work. Not sure if he did anything as high class as yours though. Keep up the fine work. Hopefully you'll find someone to pass along the traditions. My hat is off to you. Cheers Griz |

Re: 7' X 8" Stop Fluted Wood Columns
I appreciate those that really understand what is involved with this when it is done the old fashioned way- but there is no feeling like it in the world to me ;when you are the one doing the creating- thank you

Re: 7' X 8" Stop Fluted Wood Columns
If you're cutting the columns down the middle as shown then assembling, how are you making up the wood lost due to the saw kerf? A pair of 1/8" shims?
