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. 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.
