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.
Our FAS Pecan is commonly referred to as Texas Hickory, also known as Pecan Hickory, there are various species of Hickory and Pecan that are closely related and there is often confusion between the two. Pecan has slightly lower strength values than some of the other species of Hickory, but it is still among the hardest and strongest of woods native to the United States. The wood is commonly used where strength or shock-resistance is important. Typically used for smoking meats, charcoal, baseball bats, archery equipment, tool handles, chair making and more.
