Tongue & Groove
Tongue and groove wood offers a clean, continuous look for walls, ceilings, siding, and other architectural applications. At Mason’s Mill & Lumber, we offer a variety of wood species, profiles, and finishes for both interior and exterior projects.
What Is Tongue & Groove Wood?
Tongue and groove, commonly referred to as T&G, is a milling profile that allows adjoining boards to fit together using a tongue on one edge and a matching groove on the other.
This connection creates a consistent surface with clean lines and a uniform appearance. Depending on the profile and wood species, tongue and groove can complement traditional, rustic, or modern architectural styles.
From traditional Southern Yellow Pine to thermally modified hardwoods and softwoods, our team can help you find the right material for your project.

Alder S3S
$
Random width lumber surfaced 3 sides, two smooth faces and one straight edge for optimal lumber yield. Superior alder also known as select alder or clear alder, is a high-grade hardwood that produces a clearer stock than its close relative knotty alder. Alder, part of the birch family, is a softer hardwood from the Pacific Northwest.
Consistent color, stability, and uniform acceptance of stains and finishes are some of the characteristics that have made western alder a preferred wood for furniture. Its elasticity makes it ideal for carving intricate details. Ranking second only to oak as the most commonly used wood, alder offers the look of many fine hardwoods at a value price.
