There is nowhere to hide on one of these.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA drum this size shows every fault — every ripple off the gouge, every soft edge, every wander in the line — which is why almost nobody turns them. The only ornament is a small lip at the top, a shallow groove near the foot and a low turned plinth band. Everything else is proportion: the sides swell outward by a few millimetres at mid height and ease back in, so the column reads as upright instead of pinched. You won't consciously see it. You'd see its absence immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30cm, 42cm or 50cm tall × 15cm diameter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e fumed English oak or natural oiled oak, both in hard wax oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixing:\u003c\/strong\u003e M10 threaded insert, or a four-bolt plate on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a set of four; pairs and singles on request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the fuming\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFuming darkens oak right through, using the timber's own tannin — it isn't a stain sitting on the surface, and it keeps the arrises crisp where a stain would muddy them. Every board takes it slightly differently, so no two columns are quite the same colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest about the construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach column is built from three staves jointed on the axis and matched at glue-up. A solid 150mm billet of oak will not stay round — it will move, check and go oval as it dries. Laminating is the right way to build it, and we would rather say so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigners and studios: a single sample column is available and credited against your order if you go ahead.
