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.
Alder Superior (Select) Rough Lumber
$$
Superior alder also known as select alder or clear alder, is a high-grade hardwood that produces a clearer stock than its close relative knotty alder. Alder, part of the birch family, is a softer hardwood from the Pacific Northwest.
Consistent color, stability, and uniform acceptance of stains and finishes are some of the characteristics that have made western alder a preferred wood for furniture. Its elasticity makes it ideal for carving intricate details. Ranking second only to oak as the most commonly used wood, alder offers the look of many fine hardwoods at a value price.
