Metro Cam Bar Split Column describes a wood column designed for decorative use in woodworking projects where a split column profile is needed. The piece is classified under columns in decorative hardware and moldings, so it serves as a visible architectural element rather than a concealed structural part. Its unfinished wood construction lets installers match stain or clear finishes to surrounding cabinetry or trim for a consistent appearance. The Pro Value Series branding positions this column for professional woodworking environments where repeatable results and standard profiles are important across multiple jobs. With dimensions of 42 inches by 2-1/2 inches by 5 inches, the column suits applications that call for a mid-height vertical element with a relatively slim face profile and moderate depth. Being made of alder gives the column the warm, workable properties associated with this species, which matters when shaping edges or blending joints during installation and finishing.
This 42 x 2-1/2 x 5 column in alder gives installers a defined footprint to work with when laying out cabinetry or millwork. The split column format supports surface-mount use along walls, panels, or casework faces, which is practical when a full-round post is not required. Its classification under columns in decorative hardware and moldings signals that it is intended for visible, finished locations where alignment and face reveal are part of the design. Because the wood is unfinished, field finishing can be sequenced after fitting and sanding, allowing joints and seams to be blended before applying stain or topcoat. The alder species responds well to typical woodworking tools, which supports clean cuts and adjustments during onsite trimming or scribing to nearby components.
The Metro cam bar split column is part of the decorative hardware and moldings category, so it is intended for projects where visual detail is central to the layout. At 42 inches long, it is sized for applications that do not require full floor-to-ceiling spans, such as furniture-style cabinets, kitchen islands, or similar mid-height structures where a defined vertical accent is needed. The 2-1/2 inch by 5 inch footprint lets installers orient the column to emphasize either the narrower or wider face, depending on the proportion they want in the final design. Because the column is made from unfinished alder, it can be processed with standard woodworking techniques before finishing, which is useful when aligning it with doors, panels, or tops that are also based on alder. The Pro Value Series designation supports projects that standardize on consistent components across multiple units or rooms, helping maintain the same Metro cam bar profile wherever this column is specified.
The 42 inch height influences how this column lines up with surrounding elements, guiding installers when they position it alongside cabinets or frames that share similar vertical dimensions. The 2-1/2 inch measurement defines a relatively slim edge that reduces visual bulk at corners or between panels, while the 5 inch measurement provides a broader side that can visually support heavier tops or wider spans. This combination offers flexibility in orientation, letting the same component serve slightly different visual roles from job to job. Unfinished alder as the base material means the surface can be sanded, profiled, or eased to meet specific design requirements before stain or paint is applied. Since the part is categorized as a column within decorative hardware and moldings, it functions as both a design anchor and a transition piece between other wood components, supporting clean sightlines and coordinated finishes throughout the installation.
The column measures 42 inches long by 2-1/2 inches by 5 inches, which sets a defined height and footprint for planning cabinet, island, or furniture-style layouts using this profile.
The column is made of alder unfinished wood, allowing finishing teams to stain, paint, or clear-coat it to coordinate with other alder components in the project.
The split column design provides a profile suited to mounting against flat surfaces, so it can function as a decorative half-column on panels, casework ends, or walls.
The column, categorized under decorative hardware and moldings, is suited to visible woodwork such as cabinetry, islands, or similar mid-height applications needing a Metro bar style element.
An unfinished alder column can be processed with standard woodworking tools and then finished on site, helping align color and sheen with nearby alder trim or cabinets.
