'''Mason''' is the skill associated with the '''masonry''' [[labor]]. Masons are responsible for constructing certain [[building]]s out of [[stone]], specifically [[trade depot]]s, [[bridge]]s, [[furnace]]s, and [[well]]s, and their building quality and value{{verify}} are influenced by the mason's skill.

The mason skill is ''not'' used when constructing things like [[walls]], [[floors]], [[stairs]], or [[roads]], even if they are made from stone blocks. Those types of things use the [[Wall/Floor construction]] and [[Road building]] labors and have no corresponding skill. Graphically, masons wear all white clothes.

'''Mason''' is the skill associated with the '''masonry''' [[labor]]. Masons are responsible for creating [[furniture]] and other objects out of [[stone]] in a [[mason's workshop]]. Masonry is also required for building [[construction|constructions]] ([[wall|walls]], [[floor|floors]], etc.) out of stone, stone [[block|blocks]] or [[glass]] blocks.
  
In previous versions the Mason is what is now a [[Stone carver]].

As stone is plentiful early on in almost any fort, and the [[table|tables]], [[chair|chairs]], and [[door|doors]] a mason can build are immediately desirable, bringing a mason along is a sensible choice for most [[starting build|starting builds]].

If you're going to be doing a lot of construction with stone, a good way to train a mason is to make a mason's workshop assigned to the trainee with the [[Manager#Setting_workshop_profiles|workshop profile]], have him/her churn out stone blocks, and do construction with the blocks.  Not only does it train masonry, but the blocks have greater [[value]] than the rough stone they're made from, increasing the architectural [[wealth|created wealth]] of the resulting constructions.

It's worth noting that neither building nor destroying constructions provide experience for the related skills, be it masonry, carpentry, or metalworking.
