Finials which are mass-produced are often a
by-product of fence post
production, a means to utilize cut off scraps. This
air-dried solid timber
when turned, is subject to checking, splitting, and
deterioration.
Boston Turning Works uses only the highest-grade kiln
dried lumber.
The stock is planed, matched for moisture content, and glued
under high
pressure using Isoset® crosslinked
polymerized adhesive.
This laminated construction yields finials which are
stable and
lasting even in the most punishing exterior
environments.
