Beadboard and wainscoting are the workhorse millwork of American interiors, used in every era from Federal-period kitchens to modern farmhouses and mudrooms. The profiles include classic 1.5″ and 3.5″ beaded plank, V-groove and shiplap variants, plus the chair rails, cap mouldings, and base shoes needed to finish a full wainscot run from floor to ceiling. Mason’s Mill stocks 30 beadboard and wainscoting profiles across multiple plank widths and bead spacings, runnable in poplar, pine, oak, and other species. Use these to wrap a mudroom, finish a Victorian kitchen ceiling, build out a porch ceiling, or panel a powder room in any historical style.

Our sipo mahogany is an FEQ grade hardwood out of Africa, not to be confused with khaya, the “African mahogany” which notoriously has stability problems and lack of color uniformity. Sipo resembles very closely Honduras mahogany in color and appearance and a large percentage of boards will have pattern or straight grain.
It is slightly denser than Honduras mahogany, machines well and has little to no movement in service. It is extremely durable and used for the same applications as Honduras mahogany, including marine applications. Sipo is commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, turned objects, veneers, musical instruments, boat-building, and carving.
