Art Deco and early Modern trim — running from roughly 1925 through the mid-1960s — broke decisively with everything that preceded it, replacing layered classical mouldings with stepped geometric profiles, flat planes, and clean reveals. The vocabulary is graphic and architectural: stepped crowns, plain rectangular casings, deep flat baseboards, and the occasional fluted or grooved accent that nods to the era’s industrial design. Mason’s Mill carries 45 Art Deco and Modern profiles suited to Streamline Moderne apartments, mid-century ranches, theater and hotel restorations, and contemporary homes that want trim without ornament. They also work as a quiet modern foil when paired with our wider hardwood plank cladding.
Random width lumber surfaced 3 sides, two smooth faces and one straight edge for optimal lumber yield. Often referred to as “rock maple” and “sugar maple” our white hard S&B 1&2 maple is a uniform pale reddish-brown or light tan, the sapwood white is a reddish tinge. The classic “bird’s eye” form has brownish dots on a whitish background. Typical uses are furniture, musical instruments, Interior millwork, bowling alleys, dance floors, basketball courts, and even roller-skating rinks.
