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.
Random width lumber surfaced 3 sides, two smooth faces and one straight edge for optimal lumber yield. This lumber contains tight, sound knots throughout the boards. Knotty alder is used for making barn doors, wall paneling, base boards, trim, or any other general finishing work. Knotty alder can add warmth and beauty to any project with a rustic look.
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.
