Greek Revival moulding defined American architecture from roughly 1825 to 1860, drawing directly on the columns, pediments, and bold flat planes of ancient Greek temples. The look is heavy, symmetrical, and confident — wide flat fascias, deep crowns with strong dentil or ovolo accents, and door casings built to read as miniature temple fronts.
Mason’s Mill stocks 44 historically accurate Greek Revival profiles drawn from our 8,000-profile library, available in poplar, pine, oak, mahogany, and other hardwoods. These profiles are the right choice for antebellum farmhouses, Southern plantations, and any restoration project where the original trim ran in wide, flat, classical bands.
Surfaced 3 sides, two smooth faces and one straight edge for optimal lumber yield. Our sipo mahogany is an FEQ grade hardwood out of Africa, not to be confused with khaya, the “African mahogany” which notoriously has stability problems and lack of color uniformity. Sipo resembles very closely Honduras mahogany in color and appearance and a large percentage of boards will have pattern or straight grain.
It is slightly denser than Honduras mahogany, machines well and has little to no movement in service. It is extremely durable and used for the same applications as Honduras mahogany, including marine applications. Sipo is commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, turned objects, veneers, musical instruments, boat-building, and carving.
