Amish furniture is hand crafted by some of the finest Amish wood craftsmen in the Country. Your purchase will last for generations with a little care. Here are some pointers in caring for your Amish furniture.
Keep your Amish Furniture out of direct sunlight and away from heat. Direct sunlight is the most natural element that destroys furniture finishes. Paste wax and polishes do not block the penetration of sunlight on furniture. Avoid polishes that contain silicones and dust the table ‘with the grain’. Clean the table with soap and water and dry with a clean towel or rag.
Maintain your home’s humidity in the 35% to 45% range. Rule of thumb: if you live in a high moisture area and have no ability to control your humidity level, give some thought to buying Amish furniture built from quarter-sawn white oak. White oak is naturally resistant to water damage and the quarter-sawing places the growth rings nearly vertical which cause the wood to ‘swell’ nearly vertical. This allows the wood to expand and contract with little chance of twisting, cupping or cracking.
Our quarter-sawn dining table and chairs, desks and entertainment centers are reminiscent of time past. They are built by Amish craftsmen and will last you a lifetime. See the entire collection on our website: www.amishwbf.com.
