The Craftsman and Arts & Crafts movement reshaped American homes from roughly 1900 to 1930, rejecting Victorian ornament in favor of honest joinery, exposed structure, and quiet horizontal lines. Craftsman moulding is restrained and rectilinear — flat-stock casings with simple back-band trim, wide picture rails, plate rails, deep door headers, and beam-style ceiling trim meant to be read clearly from across the room. Mason’s Mill stocks 43 Craftsman profiles authentic to bungalows, Greene & Greene-inspired homes, Prairie-style builds, and Stickley-era interiors. They’re the right specification anywhere a fussy Victorian crown would feel out of place.
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.
