Anchor a kitchen island overhang or peninsula with this solid wood turned island post. A substantial 5.5″ square block meets the countertop with a clean, flat mounting surface, then flows through an arched shoulder into a bulbous neck, stacked collar rings, a long baluster vase, and a double bun foot. Its heavy scale holds its own beside stone countertops and dark flat-panel cabinetry, adding a warm, traditional counterpoint to a modern kitchen.
Standing 36″ tall, this piece of wood millwork is turned from solid walnut, a dense, rich-toned hardwood whose figure deepens under oil or a clear finish. The square block runs 7.5″ before the arched shoulder, leaving ample room for apron or countertop fastening. At the base, the foot spans the full 5.5″ width of the block for a stable, grounded footprint.
This turned island post was produced from a client’s reference photo. Our team translated the picture into a dimensioned production drawing, set the proportions to suit a 36″ island, and turned it in walnut. Send us a photo of any leg or post you like, and we can do the same.
Shown at 36″ tall, this post can be customized to any dimensions, including height, block size, and turning profile, to suit your island, peninsula, or counter.
