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.
Also known as White Pine or Moulding Pine, Ponderosa Pine is technically classified as a yellow (hard) pine, it shares many characteristics with white (soft) pines, having a considerably lower density than the yellow pine species found in the eastern United States. Ponderosa Pine has a wide, whitish to pale yellow sapwood, with a darker heartwood that is deep yellow to reddish-brown or orange-brown and is much heavier than the sapwood. The grain is typically straight and even, and is often characterized by many knots. Typical uses include rustic furniture, window frames, doors, kitchen furniture, building, boxes, dowels, cabinets, and general woodworking.
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.
Green beams will typically contain checks, splits and knots. These are natural defects and are normal for these products. Beams can not be returned.
