The distinguishing features of the Ionic Order are the scrolls that decorate the capital of the column. These scrolls derived their intriguing shape from the shell of the Nautilus. The most common representations of the Ionic Order include columns with 24 flutes separated by fillets that are about one-third their width. Ionic shafts are placed on decorative Attic Bases. Customarily, the Ionic Order column height including capital and base is nine diameters. A prime example of the Ionic Order as it was used in Rome is the Temple of Fortuna Virilis.

Our exterior columns and paint-grade interior
columns are fashioned from select, kiln-dried Western Pine staves (or
clear, all-heart Redwood or Western Red Cedar by custom order). Use of
finger-jointed pieces conserves valuable wood resources, reduces
potential for warping and bow, and helps prevent checking or cracking
of finished surfaces. (Solid-stave assembly available by custom order.)
Stain-grade interior columns are fashioned
primarily from solid-stave Red Oak, Poplar, Hard Maple, Pine, Cherry,
Redwood, Mahogany, and Black Walnut lumber and feature matching wood
Caps & Bases. Call one of our sales reps for pricing on
Ionic style stain-grade columns.
