* Column Styles #8 and #10 are identical but the the slight variation in the upper grids.

Four-sided lighting grid. The Wood Column cap features ‘light holes’. This is of no interest whatsoever until the black of night, when only the lighted upper grid and the cap’s light holes are visible.

Garden Column #10-2 as a pair of gate columns flanking a pair of Double Gates style #52. A series of winter photos sent in a little over ten years after installation.

So why the long delay in receiving the photos? Well, it began with the following entreaty in March 2018

March 6, 2018
Greetings Charles and Ben— We are proud owners of your beautiful cedar fencing and would like to care for it as best as possible. It was installed about ten years ago and had a light sealant applied at that time. It looks like it could now benefit from a bit of cleaning and possibly another coating of sealant but I wanted to check in with you before proceeding to see if you recommended any specific products or processes—or perhaps nothing at all. The fence is installed at our home in upstate NY where weather conditions can be pretty extreme. Photo attached. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. And thank you for your very beautiful, high quality woodwork. We feel so fortunate to have found you!
All the best, Maria

Hi Maria, I had to look you up. Normally I remember everyone, but it seems that this one was managed through Russell Yess in 2009. We’ve done a few projects through him, but we haven’t actually heard from his quarter in quite some time. I assume he’s doing fine.

About the time of your projects we were field testing a new finish called WoodRX that we’ve been defaulting to for the past 7-8 years for all of our pre-finishes, as well as those like yours that have grayed out. You can read abound t it here:<http://www.prowellwoodworks.com/articles/_site_articles/exterior_finishes.htm>

Two favors I’d like to ask: One, because we never received any photos of the original installation, perhaps you would be willing to send along a few hi-res pics once you’ve applied the WoodRX. But also, we’d love something now, in the midst of this 3rd storm you’re being hit with. So much snow. It would make for a wonderful photo of the fence even though most of it is likely covered in snowdrifts.

Garden Column #10-1 at 60″ height, with a foreshortened upper grid area.

Prowell’s Column Caps were revised in 2014 to what is shown below. With a 36 LED fixture rated at 70.000 hours, there is plenty of illumination. The actual amount can be modified by the various tints and opacity of the Plexiglas.

In full darkness illumination, only the upper grid and the half-moon light holes are visible.

Developed as a Gilded Age weekend community 9 miles north of Detroit, Pleasant Ridge is a rare discovery of original architecture and lush established landscapes.

Photographed four years later and we begin to realize our original purpose. Our products themselves are small contributions toward the overall affect of creating a living environment.

Hand-planing a typical #10 column.

With the lower and upper sections glued up, the overall face is assembled. Each of the four faces, on the following day, are then glued to form the column box.
