Classic Southwest Spiral Post Designs

At American Southwest Carving, we believe a post should be more than just a support—it should be a centerpiece. We take pride in ensuring you understand the unique characteristics of our materials. Every timber is carefully graded and hand-selected for each commission.

PREMIUM MATERIAL SELECTION

We offer tiered material options to meet both structural requirements and aesthetic budgets. Every timber is carefully graded and hand-selected for each commission.

  • Kiln-Dried #1 Douglas Red Fir: Our "Gold Standard." Engineered for maximum structural strength and long-term stability. This is the only choice for load-bearing architectural projects.

  • Western Red Cedar: Available upon request. Renowned for its natural beauty and superior rot resistance in exterior applications.

  • Local Green Timber (Economy Tier): A budget-friendly option available for decorative purposes only.

THE ARTISAN STANDARD

Our standard structural posts are crafted for a classic, balanced aesthetic. Each post features:

  • A solid 18 in. top and 18 in. bottom block.

  • 5 ft. of centered, free-hand sculpted carving.

  • Note: Proportions can be fully customized to suit your project needs (customization may affect final costs).

THE ASCC QUALITY GUARANTEE

Wood is a living, organic substance. While all timber is prone to some natural movement, our selection process is designed to give you peace of mind.

  • THE ASCC GUARANTEE: We fully guarantee all KILN-DRIED #1 PRODUCTS. We stand behind the stability and structural integrity of our premium timber and our hand-sculpted craftsmanship.

  • A NOTE ON "LOCAL GREEN" MATERIALS: We provide green (wet) materials as a cost-effective alternative for decorative use only. Because Green wood is prone to significant twisting, bowing, and large "checking" (cracks) as it seasons, ALL SALES ARE FINAL. No refunds or structural guarantees are provided on Green products.
