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.
Despite its name, Spanish cedar is not only a hardwood (and therefore not a Cedar), it is also not Spanish. Spanish cedar actually comes from the meliaceae family, along with mahogany. Spanish cedar is similar to genuine mahogany in its beautiful coloration, attractive grain pattern and great workability.
Spanish cedar grain is usually quite straight and works well with both hand and power tools. Spanish cedar is also known as "cigar-box cedar", as this was one of its traditional uses. The wood’s natural aroma repels insects, and the high resin count makes it very weather and rot resistant. Due to its low density, the lumber is quite lightweight, which makes this wood highly sought after as a high quality exterior grade species.
