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.
We stock poplar in both 1 COM and FAS grades. Poplar is among the most economical and inexpensive of all domestic hardwoods and is typically used for paint grade materials.
The wood has a medium to fine texture and is straight-grained; has a comparatively uniform texture. Seldom used for its appearance, poplar is a utility wood in nearly every sense. It’s used for pallets, crates, upholstered furniture frames, pulpwood and plywood.
