Craftsman & Arts & Crafts
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.
Cherry S3S
$$
Random width lumber surfaced 3 sides, two smooth faces and one straight edge for optimal lumber yield. A select & better grade cherry hardwood out of Pennsylvania that is extremely popular with cabinetmakers. Cherry is easy to work, fine textured, strong and fairly durable. Highly rated in all working properties including wood bending and turning.
Cherry becomes darker and richer with age turning reddish brown with a golden luster. Freshly cut cherry is often very pale, but the wood oxidizes to its famously favorable rich brown red in time.
