WOOD AND AMISH FURNITURE FAQS

 

THE IMPERFECT BEAUTY OF WOOD FURNITURE

- WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Modern technology has improved much in the way furniture is produced; modern glues are less susceptible to drying up, modern finishes have greater resistance to marking, and expensive carved molding can be produced for a fraction of the price.

The one thing modern technology hasn't improved is wood. But then again, what's to improve? For hundreds of years, the pure beauty of wood furniture has made for treasured family heirlooms.

Although wood has its beauty, it is far from perfect. It's the nature of wood to have knots, mineral deposits, wormholes and unusual grain patterns. Each piece is as unique as a fingerprint and will take the stain slightly differently - even two boards from the same tree. This is inherent to wood and is not a defect unless it interferes with the product giving satisfactory service.

It should also be remembered that manufacturers, striving to obtain a particular "look", incorporate wood's imperfections and other slight irregularities into the finished product. This is especially true of casual styles like country and colonial. If such production "flaws" are objectionable, then perhaps you should be looking at something more formal.

You may notice a gap in the center leaf of tables or at the ends where half-tops and filler leaves meet. Solid wood will expand and contract due to changing humidity conditions and temperatures in the home. This is a natural characteristic of solid wood.

WHAT ARE THE BEST WOOD SPECIES FOR FURNITURE?

In Amish furniture specifically, oak, cherry and maple are often the most popular types of wood used, but hickory, walnut and elm are also common. Some North American manufacturers also use birch and alder wood. Determining the best wood species for furniture will ultimately depend on your preferences and style. Check out our deeper dive on wood species for furniture to find out more about the common types of wood species and how to decide which is best for you.

WHY IS AMISH MADE FURNITURE SUCH GOOD QUALITY FURNITURE?
