Choosing a wooden dome
A dome is a ball cut through its centre, which leaves one flat face and one curved face. Every size here is solid wood, natural and unfinished, so you decide whether to paint it, oil it, glue it or drill it.
The table lists every size from 2 cm to 45 cm in pine, oak and African walnut, with the price and the weight of each. The sizes people order most are one click away in the popular row.
Domes work as finials and newel caps, as feet under a box or a stool, as craft shapes, as wall domes or as bowls turned upside down. Glue or screw the flat face from behind, or drill a centre hole for a dowel or a bolt.
For a full ball, order two domes of the same size and wood. For a size that is not in the table, or a run of finials, ask for a bespoke quote.
Every dome is turned on our own lathe.
Domes from 7 to 34 cm: Made to order, dispatched in 2 to 4 weeks. Tracked and insured. The rate for your country shows at checkout; import duty and VAT outside the UK are paid to the carrier on delivery.
Questions
Is a wooden dome the same as a half ball?
Yes. A dome, half ball, hemisphere, half sphere and split ball all describe a solid ball cut through its centre, with one flat face and one curved face.
What sizes do the wooden domes come in?
From 2 cm (0.8 in) to 45 cm (17.7 in), one centimetre at a time, in pine, oak or African walnut. Every size and wood is in the table above with its price and weight.
Is a dome solid wood or hollow?
Solid, with no veneer and no hollow core. Oak and walnut are hardwoods; pine is a softwood.
How do I fix a half ball in place?
The flat face is cut true, so it sits flush. Most people glue it, screw through from behind, or drill a centre hole for a dowel or bolt. Domes are supplied undrilled and unfinished.
Can I use a dome as a newel post or gate post cap?
Yes. Choose a diameter a little wider than the post, glue or dowel it on, and seal the wood if it will live outdoors.
How are domes delivered?
Tracked and insured. The rate for your country shows at checkout; import duty and VAT outside the UK are paid to the carrier on delivery.
Bespoke and trade
