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.
Quarter sawn refers to the visual characteristics of the face of each board. The lumber is quarter sawn for the best grain rather than the highest grade. This rift and quartered white oak is a character grade out of the Appalachian mountains.
Rift and quartered white oak is a hard and heavy wood typically used for flooring, furniture, cabinet making, interior trim work, paneling, cooperage for wine and whiskey, and shingles.
