Federal & Adam Profiles
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.
Character White Oak Rough Lumber
$$$
Character white oak has an open grain and can range from light gray to warm brown shades. White oak is a hard and heavy wood with a medium-bending and crushing strength, low in stiffness, but very good in steam-bending. It has great wear-resistance.
Known for its natural grain irregularities, mineral streaks, and both sound and open knots, character grade lumber contains a mix of heart and sap woods. Its color variations are visible throughout each board face.
