Georgian architecture ran from roughly 1700 to 1780 and remains the most enduring template for formal American homes — symmetrical facades, paneled doors, and richly layered interior trim. Georgian moulding is built up from multiple distinct elements: ogees, ovolos, beads, and fillets stacked into crown and cornice assemblies, with raised six- or eight-panel doors set into wide cased openings.
Mason’s Mill stocks 45 historically faithful Georgian profiles ready to run in any hardwood or softwood. These are the right starting point for any colonial-era restoration, formal study or library remodel, or new construction aiming for traditional New England, Mid-Atlantic, or Tidewater proportions.
Random width lumber surfaced 3 sides, two smooth faces and one straight edge for optimal lumber yield. This lumber contains tight, sound knots throughout the boards. Knotty alder is used for making barn doors, wall paneling, base boards, trim, or any other general finishing work. Knotty alder can add warmth and beauty to any project with a rustic look.
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.
