ENDURA-CRAFT™ NON-TAPERED COLUMN SPECIFICATIONS
Craftsman columns are available plain, or with three different paneled options: raised panel, “square corner” raised panel, and recessed panel. (Since all tooling used for routing the panels is done with round bits, there will always be some radius in the corners. The “square corner” style uses the smallest bit possible to minimize that radius – about 1/8”.)
