traditional bar column alder describes a shaped wood column designed for use in decorative woodworking where a substantial square post look is needed. The 42 inch length supports typical bar-height applications or tall cabinet layouts that call for a continuous vertical element. The 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch cross section creates a visibly solid profile that reads as structural in bar fronts and built-ins. Being made of alder ties this column to projects using alder doors, face frames, and moldings, so the species stays consistent from end to end. The unfinished wood surface arrives ready for sanding, staining, or painting to match existing millwork schedules. As part of the Pro Value Series line, this column fits into a decorative hardware and moldings approach where repeatable sizes matter for layout, ordering, and replacement.
The 42 inch height, combined with the 3-1/2 inch square section, gives clear layout parameters when setting this traditional bar column into a project. Because the cross section is square, it orients cleanly to cabinet runs or bar faces without rotational guesswork, simplifying alignment to face frames and panels. The uniform 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch size from end to end lets installers plan scribe cuts or toe space details knowing the profile will stay consistent along the column. Working with unfinished alder allows field trimming at the ends with standard woodworking tools before finishing, so the column can be cut to precise height on site while keeping the visible faces intact. Identifying this piece as a Pro Value Series column helps keep part SZDW11195AL tied to a known size when repeat installations or replacements are needed across multiple jobs.
The 42 inch x 3-1/2 inch x 3-1/2 inch traditional bar column, alder, fits naturally into bar fronts, islands, and tall cabinetry where a chunky square post look is desired. Its listing under Decorative Hardware & Moldings and Columns marks it as a visible element, suited to exposed corners or panel breaks rather than hidden framing. The alder species matches many furniture-style cabinet lines, allowing the column to be finished so it reads as part of the same program as doors, drawer fronts, and face frames. Because the column is unfinished wood, it slots into both stained and painted environments, letting the same size and profile serve different design schemes on different projects.
The 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch profile gives enough visual weight to balance deeper bar tops or extended countertops, so the column does not appear undersized against the overhang. That square footprint also simplifies joining to flat case ends, rails, or applied moldings because each face is equal, easing layout of reveals and decorative details. The 42 inch length supports scenarios where a single piece runs from finished floor to underside of a bar or tall counter in many designs, minimizing joints in the visible section. Unfinished alder allows fabricators to handle final sanding, edge softening, and finishing steps in-house, aligning sheen and color with adjacent millwork. As a Pro Value Series component identified by part SZDW11195AL and description CLM10001AL, TRAD BAR COLUMN,3.5',ALDER, it provides a repeatable spec that can be written into shop drawings and reorder lists for consistent field results.
