Solid Wood
Benches with Backs
Convert your oak and cherry benches into storage benches
to store all your excess. Most of our benches have the capability to add
storage compartments below the base known as storage benches or deacon's
benches. The pressback bench also has the ability to have a beautiful design
(of your choice) pressed into the back, however, most benches do not have
that ability because of not having a wide enough space in the back to
impress the design. However all benches can come with arms - or without the
arms as priced. Add a scooped seat to your solid wood bench in order to make
it extra comfortable or keep it as it comes standard - with a flat seat.
The Builders
The Amish have long been known for their fine craftsmanship in solid wood
furniture. Each bench is carefully hand built by the Amish who select only
the finest hardwoods. They know the importance of a well constructed
furniture. They have large families and cannot afford to be buying cheap
prefabricated furniture that will have to be replace every few years. So
quality furniture is of utmost importance! Furniture that they can be proud
of and hand down to their descendants
as treasured heirlooms!
Solid Hardwood
Furniture
At a time when
mass production and the use of synthetics and veneers has become the
standard, we offer you solid wood furniture, inside and out. Our Amish
craftsmen pay personal attention to detail, quality, and craftsmanship
instead of volume. And because each piece is handcrafted, you can be assured
that the furniture you purchase is made of the highest quality wood.
We
provide solid wood furniture pieces to complement
every room in your house. From tables, chairs, barstools, and
hutches, to beds, dressers and armoires, we've got a great selection of solid wood
furniture for every style and budget. And every piece of solid wood
furniture is beautifully handcrafted by the Amish and finished with
a catalyst finish, ready to go right into the room of your choice
upon delivery.
Since all our solid wood furniture is custom made, we do not
build until you, the customer, order and give us all the specs. Once
the order is placed, please allow 8-12 weeks for delivery. (which is
an estimated time for arrival. We cannot guarantee an exact date
since it is contingent on many different factors.) For a
rush order on your solid wood furniture, please contact us and we
will see if it's possible to expedite it.
Our
handcrafted solid hardwood furniture is generally available in oak
or cherry wood. Some pieces are also available in quartersawn oak,
maple, maple, or hickory.
Select the finish that's right for you. You can pick a light wood
like maple, or a darker mahogany. Browse through the large variety
of solid wood tables, hutches, chairs, bedroom furniture, and office
furniture to pick out the style and shade you want. Customize your
solid wood furniture for your home and to your satisfaction!
Oak wood is a naturally light wood with a prominent grain, which
makes groves in the wood that you can feel when you slide your finger across
them. This grain is evident even with dark stains and usually appears darker
than the rest of the wood. Knots may occasionally appear in the wood, which
add to its character.
Cherry wood has less grain and is quite smooth. It has a natural
light red tone but can be stained to create many appearances. Cherry has
very small "pits" that are dark in appearance and create a dip in the wood.
Cherry naturally darkens with age and sometimes features contrasts in color.
This is part of the charm of cherry, and should be expected. Cherry wood
comes naturally with sap wood (which is a lighter thread of wood running
through the cherry wood) In order to avoid seeing it we recommend selecting
a light stain to cover it. Cherry furniture is also very beautiful with a
dark red stain.
Maple is naturally a light wood with very little grain that is quite
smooth. Since Maple is such a dense wood it does not absorb stain as well so
is not recommended if you wish your furniture to be dark.
Walnut is a dark wood with a medium amount of grain that makes slight
groves in the wood. Even with different stains, the appearance of walnut
does not change much. Knots may occasionally appear in the wood.
Hickory is a relatively light wood with a lot of grain. The
appearance of natural hickory does vary from a very light appearance to a
medium dark appearance. These differences will show up on a piece of
furniture.
The beauty and durability provided by solid hardwood is undeniable. It
provides several unique benefits:
- Enduring value from one generation to another.
- Natural warmth that synthetics cannot give.
- Expression of each individual tree by its own unique color and grain.
Solid hardwood furniture can also be repaired if damaged because there is no
veneer or artificial surface that can be scraped or rubbed through.
Hardwoods are a natural fiber. Therefore, even furniture that has a good
protective finish may swell or shrink slightly from one season to another.
With proper care, your solid wood furniture will bring you satisfaction for
years to come.
