Did You Know?? What we learned at the NIWA….

Our recent trip to the Northern Indiana Woodworkers Association Exposition reminded both Carol and Jay were reminded why we proudly present 100% Made-In-America Amish handcrafted furniture. At that event there are hundreds of Amish woodworkers who contribute to the production of quality solid hardwood furniture using the best techniques in building their products to produce the finest furniture on the market today!

All Amish Workbench Furniture is solid hardwood: kiln dried Northern Red Oak, Cherry, Maple and Quarter-Sawn White Oak. Kiln dried wood provides a more stable wood graining keeping imperfection to a minimum. Dining table tops are 5/4” solid tops that are milled to a 1” thickness. This and state of the art construction eliminates splitting and warping.

Sustainable Woods

Amish handcrafters build their Amish Dining Tables and other products using sustainable American hardwoods that renew and regenerate themselves abundantly. Some species have been and will continue to be relatively more plentiful than others because that is how they occur in nature.

Red Oak is the most abundant hardwood species in the USA. It is widespread throughout the Eastern U.S. and comprises about 37% of the total U.S. hardwoods commercially available.

Cherry is readily available and grows primarily throughout Midwestern and Eastern U.S.

White Oak is readily available and widespread throughout the Eastern U.S. It is the state tree of Connecticut, Illinois and Maryland. White oak is impervious to liquids and has been used extensively for ship timbers, barrels and casks. It accounts for about 17% of U.S. hardwoods commercially available.

Hard Maple is widely available and grows abundantly in Mid-Atlantic and Lake States. It is a cold weather tree favoring a more northerly climate.

They incorporate the finest in design and construction and their finishing techniques provide the final touch. All necessary ingredients in building heirloom crafted quality dining room furniture and bedroom suites. Check out the up-to-date styling on our website: www.amishwbf.com.
