7' Antique SOLID Wood Round Tapered Structural Column & Capital
(NOT HOLLOW)
HEAVY, antique, porch column salvaged from Northeastern, PA.  It's made  entirely of a solid hardwood (not hollow) and is painted a pale green color. The  column is tapered and is wider at the bottom than at the top.
The capital appears like it's leaning to one side in the photos  and that is because the top of the column still has nails in it, and we just  placed the capital on top for the photos. Once the nails are removed and the  capital is fastened to the top of the column, it will lay flush and level.
This column was originally installed in the corner of a porch and  had 2 handrails connected to it. We could fill those mortises with solid wood,  as well as make any other repairs or modifications. If you're interested, email  us with a description of what you'd like done to the column and we'll give you a  price.
The column is strong, sturdy, and in great shape considering it's  age. There nicks, scrapes, and scratches from top to bottom, which will be  removed during sanding, and whatever remains could be filled with putty or left  as "character marks." Once painted, it will look as good as new! There are no  serious, structural flaws like big breaks, deep cracks, rot, termite damage, or  warp.
Considering that the wood used to make this column was sourced  from a tree that lived hundreds of years before being cut down; it's much  harder/denser and is less prone to rot, warp, insects, and even fire than any  column made today. Today's columns are made wood sourced from trees that are  barely 20 years old. The wood hasn't matured long enough, and the new column  will need to be replaced sooner than this old one--they don't make them like  they used to!
