Turned Round Wood Columns for Temples and Thai Architecture: How They Are Made
· WisutWood, full-cycle solid wood factory in Surat Thani · Woodwork
In short: Turned round columns for temples, ordination halls and salas need large-section hardwood and turners who can hold the profile exactly as drawn. WisutWood has done this work before — including the ordination hall columns at Wat Phatthanaram, Surat Thani — and turns columns to the sizes and profiles you specify. Talk to us and get a price.
Turned column work we produce
Round columns for lobbies and building halls, ordination hall and sala columns, and decorative columns for Thai architecture — coordinated with structural woodwork. See the product page at turned wood columns, religious buildings at temples & religious buildings, and examples in our portfolio.
Choosing timber for turned columns
Large-section hardwoods that stay stable, such as Makha or Takhian Thong — diameter and length both affect how the timber is sourced and how much the turning labour costs.
Before you order
Large turned columns are worth discussing with our team so we can assess timber sourcing. Work ships planed and turned smooth, unfinished. We deliver to temples across upper southern Thailand, and to other provinces by chartered truck (delivery).
Frequently asked questions
Can you turn a specific profile? Yes. We turn columns to the drawing, size and profile you specify.
Do you have timber big enough for columns? Large-section timber is sourced per job. Send your drawings and talk to our team first so we can plan the sourcing.
