Colonial Revival is the most widely built style in American history, running from the 1880s through today and accounting for the millwork in millions of homes — from 1920s Cape Cods to modern center-hall colonials. The style consolidates Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival elements into a more accessible vocabulary: clean crown profiles, fluted casings with corner blocks or mitered returns, six-panel doors, and chair rails sized for everyday rooms. Mason’s Mill carries 43 Colonial Revival profiles that match the standard millwork found in pre-war and post-war traditional homes. This is the right category for most “we want it to look colonial” renovations and additions where strict period accuracy isn’t required.
Also known as White Pine or Moulding Pine, Ponderosa Pine is technically classified as a yellow (hard) pine, it shares many characteristics with white (soft) pines, having a considerably lower density than the yellow pine species found in the eastern United States. Ponderosa Pine has a wide, whitish to pale yellow sapwood, with a darker heartwood that is deep yellow to reddish-brown or orange-brown and is much heavier than the sapwood. The grain is typically straight and even, and is often characterized by many knots. Typical uses include rustic furniture, window frames, doors, kitchen furniture, building, boxes, dowels, cabinets, and general woodworking.
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.
Green beams will typically contain checks, splits and knots. These are natural defects and are normal for these products. Beams can not be returned.
