Environmentally friendly Amish furniture is made without using electricity from the power grid.  The Amish use skills handed down for generations.  Without telephone or computer, electric lights, cars or trucks, the Amish continue to live a simple life close to the land.  The women make clothing for family members.  Children walk to school.   

The Amish furniture that we sell is made is small shops located on farms in western Pennsylvania.  Although they do not have electric lights in the shops or in furniture display rooms, the Amish use old country techniques passed down for generations to make top quality wood products.  Furniture is assembled by hand and receives its color and finish by hand.

Northern Red Oak and White Oak

American prefer oak.  Half of Americans choose oak for their favorite wood for furniture.  It is much more durable than pine, a soft wood that dents and marks easily.  Its popular colors, durability, and "warmth" contrast with woods that are plain or whose colors are less consistent.  Often oak used for furniture is grown in the Appalachian mountains.

Cherry

Cherry is a light reddish-brown wood, also a hardwood, but not as hard as oak.  It is grown in the Appalachians and northeastern U.S.  The Amish use a cherry stain on oak furniture for a rich combination of a dark red wood that is more durable than cherry.  The finish may darken with exposure to light.
