The Federal style — sometimes called Adam style after the Scottish brothers who popularized it — shaped American homes from roughly 1780 to 1830, just after independence. Where Georgian trim is robust and Greek Revival is heavy, Federal moulding is delicate and refined: slim reeded pilasters, fine bead-and-reel detailing, oval and elliptical motifs, and crisp, narrow profiles that feel almost neoclassical-jewelry in scale.
Mason’s Mill carries 44 Federal & Adam profiles suited to early Republic townhouses, New England center-hall colonials, and Charleston single houses. They pair beautifully with our Georgian and Greek Revival profiles when layering periods on a single restoration.
CUTEK® Extreme Wood Protection Oil is sold clear, which allows the wood to age gracefully into a beautiful silver patina on exposure to sunlight. However, if you’d like to retain the natural freshly oiled color of the wood you’re working with, add a CUTEK® Colortone to the clear oil. Choose one of these Colortones which have been specifically developed to closely match many popular wood species.
For best results, select a CUTEK® Colortone that is close to the natural shade of the wood species being coated. To get an idea of what a Colortone may look like on a wood species we offer samples of the pre-mixed CUTEK® Colortones. Also please refer to the CUTEK® Colortone Specs with complimentary species/stain color suggestions HERE: https://cutekstain.com/us/product/colortones/
