Carved Pedestal STL-012

Carved Pedestal STL-012 is an exquisite piece made of solid natural wood, 900 mm high, crafted by experienced woodcarvers using traditional woodworking techniques. This decorative-functional structure for dining and formal tables combines classic aesthetics with modern requirements for furniture durability, reliability, and longevity, creating a unique atmosphere of luxury and refined taste in interior design. The 900 x 760 x 332 mm item features a luxurious design that highlights the beauty and nobility of natural wood.

Architectural Features of the Structure

Carved Pedestal STL-012 features an expressive architectural composition, where each element serves both aesthetic and structural functions. The item is built on the principle of a central carved column with a massive shaped base and an upper support platform for secure tabletop attachment. The structure consists of four carved legs connected by a single crossbar, providing the table with exceptional stability and even load distribution.

The central part of the pedestal is a complex multi-tiered composition of turned and carved elements, creating a rhythmic vertical structure. The base is a massive cylindrical or polygonal column, decorated with three-dimensional relief carving with a depth of up to 25-35 mm, ensuring expressive light and shadow play on the wood surface. Such carving depth transforms the functional support into a true piece of applied art.

Decorative elements include turned rings, spherical and oval bulges, carved bands with floral or geometric ornamentation, and shaped balusters, giving the item architectural monumentality. A distinctive feature of model STL-012 is the presence of volumetric carved sections forming spherical or bulbous shapes, characteristic of classical European furniture from the Baroque and Renaissance periods. The central column is adorned with vertical carved sections forming a spherical shape, reminiscent of classical architectural elements.

The lower base of the pedestal has a shaped form with smooth curved contours and additional decorative protrusions. Such configuration not only gives the item aesthetic completeness but also ensures secure contact with the floor, preventing rocking and deformation of the structure under the weight of the tabletop and placed items. The wide support area guarantees the stability of the entire table structure and even load distribution on the floor covering.

Wood Species and Material Quality

Carved Pedestal STL-012 is made from carefully selected solid wood of valuable species, each possessing unique physical and mechanical properties and aesthetic characteristics. Production uses oak, beech, ash, and other species proven as optimal for creating durable carved items. Solid wood is a natural and eco-friendly material possessing strength, durability, and warmth.

Oak solid wood is distinguished by exceptional hardness, density, and natural resistance to moisture, mold, and mechanical damage. The oak wood structure with pronounced annual rings and medullary rays creates a characteristic noble pattern, especially vividly expressed when stained. The calculated strength of the oak pedestal allows it to withstand evenly distributed loads up to 250-300 kg without deformation, significantly exceeding the typical load capacity of a dining table.

Beech wood is characterized by a uniform fine-pored structure and light tone with a pink or cream undertone. Beech is easily carved, allowing the creation of delicate ornament details with sharp edges, smooth transitions, and flawless surface finish. This species is ideal for classical and neoclassical interiors, where the natural beauty of light wood is appreciated. Beech wood is dense and non-porous, most often used for items covered with enamel.

Ash has high bending strength and impact toughness, making it an excellent material for furniture structures designed for intensive use. Ash wood has a beautiful wavy texture with contrasting dark veins on a light background, creating a dynamic and expressive pattern. Solid ash wood is easily carved, so the pedestal has a complex and refined shape that demonstrates the skill and talent of the woodcarvers.

Production uses only kiln-dried solid wood to 8-10% moisture content, corresponding to the equilibrium moisture content of wood in heated rooms and eliminating subsequent shrinkage, warping, cracking, or deformation of the item during use.Furniture Frames and PedestalsAll items undergo multi-stage quality control at every production stage.

Artistic Carving Technique

The main ornament of carved pedestal STL-012 is masterful hand carving, transforming a utilitarian table support into a piece of applied art. The work is performed using three-dimensional relief carving technique with a set of professional chisels, gouges, and knives of various profiles. The ornament creates expressive light and shadow play on the item's surface, emphasizing the volume and depth of decorative elements.

The process of creating carved decoration begins with turning the basic column shapes on a lathe, where cylindrical, conical, and spherical elements are formed, serving as the basis for further hand carving. After turning, the master carver transfers the ornament pattern onto the blank and proceeds to carve the background, create general contours, and refine basic shapes. Each section is carefully carved and sanded by hand, ensuring smooth lines and flawless surface quality without chips, burrs, or unevenness.

Detailing elements requires the highest level of craftsmanship and artistic taste. Each line and curve is carved by hand, taking into account the direction of wood grain, ensuring strength of thin elements and preventing chipping. Carving depth varies from 5 to 35 mm depending on the size of the decorative element and overall composition, creating a multi-level relief surface with rich plasticity.

Final finishing includes sanding and multi-stage polishing of all surfaces using abrasives of different grits — from coarse for removing tool marks to fine for achieving silky smoothness. Special attention is paid to polishing hard-to-reach areas in carved recesses, where insufficient processing may result in splinters and unpleasant sensations upon accidental contact. The lower base is adorned with a shaped carved band with floral or geometric ornamentation, completing the composition and unifying all elements into a cohesive whole.

Quality of carving is determined by line clarity, smooth transitions, symmetry of repeating elements, and overall composition harmony. Professional work is distinguished by absence of wood chips, scratches, rough tool marks, and other defects that reduce the aesthetic value of the item. All carved elements of the pedestal harmoniously complement each other, creating a unified artistic image.

Technical Specifications and Calculated Parameters

The carved pedestal STL-012 is designed according to ergonomic standards and load calculations typical for dining and formal tables in residential and public interiors. The standard height of the item is 900 mm, which corresponds to the optimal height of a dining table (720–750 mm) and ensures comfortable seating for people of different heights. The dimensions of the item are 900 x 760 x 332 mm, allowing its use for creating various types of tables: writing, dining, coffee, toilet, and others.

The width of the pedestal base is 760 mm, ensuring sufficient structural stability. These parameters allow the pedestal to be used with oval, round, and rectangular tables of lengths from 1600 to 2800 mm and widths from 900 to 1200 mm. The pedestal is suitable for any room: living room, bedroom, office, dining room, hallway, and other residential or public spaces.

The calculated load on the structure is up to 250–300 kg of evenly distributed weight, significantly exceeding the typical operational load on a dining table. Strength is ensured by the quality of selected solid wood, proper orientation of wood fibers in load-bearing elements, and reliable adhesive joints of all structural components. Concentrated load at the center of the tabletop can reach 100–150 kg without structural deformation, allowing safe placement of heavy items on the table.

The weight of one pedestal, depending on the wood species, dimensions, and complexity of carving, ranges from 28 to 38 kg, ensuring the stability of the entire table structure and preventing tipping under lateral loads. At the same time, the weight is not excessive, allowing the table to be moved by two or three people without complete disassembly. The massiveness of carved elements creates the necessary counterweight for the tabletop and prevents tipping even under uneven loading at the edge.

The tabletop is secured via the upper support surface using metal brackets, furniture bolts, or screw clamps, ensuring a secure detachable connection. All fasteners are concealed under decorative overlays or recessed into the wood with subsequent masking plugs to preserve the item’s aesthetics. The upper support surface has shaped edges with a profiled edge, creating a smooth transition from the carved base to the tabletop and giving the structure a finished look.

Finishing Options and Decorative Coatings

The carved pedestal STL-012 is available in several finishing options, allowing the item to be adapted to various interior styles and color schemes of furniture ensembles. The base option is an uncolored pedestal made from carefully sanded solid wood, ready for final finishing according to the customer’s individual preferences. The product is shipped in a rigid box in disassembled form, with hardware included with the item.

The uncolored solid wood provides maximum freedom in choosing color solutions and types of finish coatings. The customer can independently apply desired tones using stains or oil-based compositions, apply transparent or tinted lacquer, oil-wax, or other protective-decorative coatings in accordance with the overall interior concept. The item can be painted in various colors, allowing selection of the shade that matches the taste and style of the room.

Two levels of sanding quality are available. Standard represents machine sanding with a more attractive price, suitable for most projects. Prestige means detailed hand sanding, where items require no additional finishing and are ready for immediate final finishing. The choice of sanding type depends on surface quality requirements and project budget.

Transparent lacquer highlights the natural color and expressive wood grain, creating a protective layer resistant to moisture, dirt, abrasion, and mechanical damage. Polyurethane, acrylic, or alkyd lacquers with varying gloss levels — from matte to high-gloss mirror finish — are used. Tinted finish options allow imparting noble tones of classic color palettes — from light natural oak, honey walnut, and golden pine to rich dark wenge, mahogany, or classic redwood.

Patina finish creates an effect of noble antiquity with a light patina on the surface of the carving. The technology involves applying contrasting pigments into ornament recesses followed by blending to create a natural worn effect. Patina finish especially looks striking on complex relief carvings, emphasizing the depth and volume of the decoration.

Enamel finish in white, cream, bone, gray, or other pastel and saturated tones transforms the pedestal into an elegant interior detail, ideally matching painted furniture in Provence, shabby chic, or French classic styles. Enamel is applied in multiple layers with intermediate sanding to achieve a perfectly smooth, velvety surface.

Furniture frames made of natural woodcan be finished in any style and color scheme according to the interior design project.

Wood species for the item’s veneer

In manufacturing the carved pedestal STL-012, the technology of gluing wooden laminates is used, ensuring additional strength and stability of the structure. Two main types of veneer are available, determining the item’s purpose and type of final finish. The choice of veneer type depends on the planned decorative surface treatment.

The enamel variant is produced by gluing wooden laminates without color and texture matching. In such items, contrasting tonal and textural differences between individual planks are observed, creating a colorful, non-uniform surface appearance. This blank should be selected if the item is intended for opaque coating — enamels, paints, or dense covering compositions that completely mask wood color differences.

The tinting variant is produced by gluing wooden laminates with careful color and texture matching. In such items, only minor tonal and textural differences are possible, creating the appearance of a solid block. This blank should be selected if the item is intended for semi-transparent finish — stains, oils, waxes, transparent and tinted lacquers, which preserve the visibility of wood grain.

The laminate gluing technology provides greater stability of the finished item compared to solid wood. Alternating fibers in different directions compensate for internal wood stresses and minimize the risk of warping, cracking, or deformation under changes in humidity and temperature. Quality gluing ensures joint strength exceeding the strength of the wood itself.
