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.
Despite its name, Spanish cedar is not only a hardwood (and therefore not a Cedar), it is also not Spanish. Spanish cedar actually comes from the meliaceae family, along with mahogany. Spanish cedar is similar to genuine mahogany in its beautiful coloration, attractive grain pattern and great workability.
Spanish cedar grain is usually quite straight and works well with both hand and power tools. Spanish cedar is also known as "cigar-box cedar", as this was one of its traditional uses. The wood’s natural aroma repels insects, and the high resin count makes it very weather and rot resistant. Due to its low density, the lumber is quite lightweight, which makes this wood highly sought after as a high quality exterior grade species.
