Iroko Column Bases

The staff at C&K pride themselves on
a willingness to take on unusual projects.
The above is such an example. In this case a West End client had a pair of columns to the front of his prop­erty which had deteriorated over many years.
To improve the appearance of the entranceway, he wanted to replace the bases but retain the columns.

These were laminated from segments of  Iroko to build up the block. The turning work was carried out to a very high stan­dard by wood turner, Mr. Ray White.

The finished product was coated in a clear
sealant prior to delivery to site. Derek Palmer said "This was probably just the second time in the past 13 years that we have manufactured such items".

He went on to say "It could be another 13 years before we are asked again, but we now have details on file in readiness!"
