Classical Detail
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.
Purple Heart Rough Lumber
Purpleheart wood is a deep purple-violet when freshly cut, maturing to a dark brown. and has a medium texture with good natural luster. The original color is restored when re-cut. Purpleheart is rated as being very durable, and resists both decay and most insect attacks, though it has been reported to be susceptible to attack from marine borers.
Common uses for purpleheart lumber include inlays and accent pieces, flooring, furniture, boatbuilding, heavy construction, and a variety of specialty wood items.
