Hardwoods
From millwork and furniture to cabinetry, flooring, and architectural detailing, the right hardwood makes the difference. Mason’s Mill & Lumber supplies domestic and imported hardwood lumber — precision-sawn, grade-selected, and ready for your next project.
Interior & Exterior Hardwoods
Hardwood is prized for its strength, durability, and natural beauty. Unlike softwoods, hardwoods originate from broadleaf trees and generally offer greater density, wear resistance, and distinctive grain patterns that enhance design value.
What hardwood brings to your project:
-
-
Superior durability and longevity — ideal for interior and exterior applications with frequent use.
-
Rich visual character — distinct grains and hues elevate millwork, cabinetry, and furniture.
-
Design flexibility — accepts staining, finishing, and machining with precision.
-
Long-term value — hardwood elements often boost resale and finish quality.

Rustic Knotty Alder Premium Rough Lumber
$
Also known as premium frame alder direct from the Pacific Northwest. Because of its grain pattern, alder is frequently used as a substitute for walnut and cherry. Knotty alder cabinets and mouldings are very popular in high-end homes as well as rustic cabins. Alder machines well and is excellent for turning. It nails, screws and glues well, and can be sanded, painted, or stained to a good finish.
When stained, it blends with walnut, mahogany or cherry. It dries easily with little degrade and has good dimensional stability after drying. Alder, a relative of birch, is almost white when freshly cut but quickly changes on exposure to air, becoming light brown with a yellow or reddish tinge. Heartwood is formed only in trees of advanced age and there is no visible boundary between sap and heartwood. The wood is fairly straight-grained with a uniform texture.

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.
