The exotic tree is actually a rubber tree, from which they get caoutchouc. It can be painted and stained just like any other European wood. Exota is harder than pine, softer than beech. According to its fiber structure and color, it is between beech and oak.
Capitellum in Greek means head, capital of a column, or the closing element of a capital. In architecture, three Greek capitals were distinguished, the Doric capital, the Ionic and the Corinthian capital, which was decorated with the well-known acanthus leaf pattern.
In ancient times, ornamentation was a defining element in the construction of Greek temples. The Greek capitals made in this period received decorations that are still known today, such as the acanthus leaf on the closing element of the Corinthian capital. Our capital mouldings echo the feeling those ancient masterpieces radiate, even if you decide to use them someplace other than columns, like as moulding for doors panels.
