Classical details are the ornamental moulding elements that aren’t tied to a single era — dentil blocks, egg-and-dart, bead-and-reel, acanthus leaves, rope twist, and the carved enrichments that finish a high-end classical room. These profiles work across Greek Revival, Federal, Georgian, and Colonial Revival millwork programs, layered into crowns, cornices, mantels, and door surrounds as accent runs. Mason’s Mill carries 46 classical detail profiles meant to be combined with our plainer crowns and casings to build up the full layered look of a formal classical interior. They’re the difference between competent restoration trim and authentic period millwork.
All of our antique pine comes from reclaimed lumber and has a natural patina look, saw marks, knots, nail holes and that distinct rustic feel. The sapwood varies in width, and is whitish to yellowish, orange white or pale yellow. The heartwood is light yellow, orange or reddish-brown, and is resinous. The marked contrast between early wood and late wood is clearly shown in the growth rings.
All “reclaimed” or antique pine comes with defects and character markings present. Every piece of lumber has a history.

In rustic or knotty grades of lumber, there will be a percentage of degrade during the milling process. Some knots may shake lose and/or fall out during the milling process. Mason’s Mill is not liable for these defects in moldings produced from knotty grades of lumber.
