Amish Furniture Craftsmanship
Amish Craftsmanship
Amish furniture is well-known for its high quality, traditional designs and authentic craftsmanship. The Amish make furniture using handheld tools run by generators, usually working out of small woodshops beside their rural homes. They are a unique cultural group that avoids computers, cell phones, cars and electricity - even in this high tech age. Amish outdoor furniture is painstakingly made by hand, one piece at a time. Each piece is individually crafted and inspected.
While many American furniture makers lose way to foreign imports, the Amish are thriving in the furniture business in places like Lancaster, Pennsylvania; Holmes County, Ohio; and Shipshewana, Indiana. They’ve earned a well-deserved reputation for quality and value, practicing their craft in many places where American furniture has been made for generations and helping to support those local economies.
While the Amish in general have earned this reputation for high quality, quality can still vary from one Amish furniture maker to another. We carefully select furniture makers whose commitment to quality furniture matches our customers’ expectations.
In general, the Amish are an inward focused people that reflect many generations of isolation from the rest of the world. For that reason, they tend to focus on building furniture rather than selling it. With any high quality product, this is where the focus should be!
We trust that you will enjoy owning your Amish furniture as much as the Amish enjoy making it and we enjoy bringing it to you. Our high quality furniture is a treasure that you can pass along to the next generation.

Solid Hardwood
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 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.
Our handcrafted solid hardwood furniture is generally available in oak or cherry wood. Some pieces are also available in quartersawn oak, hard maple, brown maple, walnut, hickory or birch. Please see the Quick Spec information above to find out what wood is available with this piece. The picture here shows the differences between the hardwoods that we offer.
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. Oak has a strong heavy hook and the look isn't deceiving. When finished natural it will have a pale blonde reddish cast, which overtime will oxidize to a golden honey color. A great choice for staining. Quarter Sawn Oak stains very well. Beautiful irregular markings or flakes are a result of logs cut in a special way. Quarter Sawn Oak is known for its amazing strength and firm texture. Quarter Sawn Oak is a top choice for many of our customers!
Cherry wood has less grain and is quite smooth. A favorite for good reasons! Cherry has many interesting characteristics. Aging to a rich reddish brown color over time and often peppered with exotic black specs and swirling grain. It has a natural light gold/red tone but can be stained to create many appearances. Cherry has very small knots that are dark in appearance and sometimes 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. We recommend a light to medium stain on cherry wood.
Hard Maple is naturally a light wood with very little grain that is quite smooth. Maple mellows to beautiful golden tone overtime. Occasionally flecked with naturally occurring black mineral deposits. Maple is an excellent choice for strong durable furniture. Maple can also be stained to create many appearances. Dark stains may stain unevenly. Brown Maple comes from the same logs as regular maple but is the darker heartwood. Can be a smart choice for darker staining or painting. It can stain unevenly.
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. Walnut will bring extra elegance to any room. If your tastes run more toward the formal, then the rich dark browns of walnut may be the way to go.
Hickory is a very hard and durable wood by mixing the color tones the finished product is a characteristic piece of natural art. The appearance of natural hickory does vary from a very light appearance to a medium light appearance. Birch grain sometimes has a curl which creates an iridescent effect. Light to medium blond sapwood usually but not always contrasts against darker toned heartwood. Curl can also cause uneven staining. Will age to a golden color.
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.

Care for Your Byershaus Chest
Care for your new chest is very simple. Solid hardwood resists marring and scratching. If it does get damaged in severe use, it can be repaired because it is solid wood throughout. The protected natural fibers in the hardwood may swell and shrink slightly from season to season. Extremely dry conditions will cause the grain to open, or if used in a damp environment, you may notice a swelling or warping. Direct exposure to sunlight over a long period of time may change the color of the wood. Exercise care to avoid these extremes in humidity, dryness or brilliant sunlight, and your chest will remain beautiful for many years and be useful in preserving your treasures.

Amish Furniture Delivered with Care
Our Amish furniture is handcrafted and stained after your order is placed. Normally this takes about 8-16 weeks to complete but the timeframe varies as the items are crafted by hand. We try our very best to get your furniture to you as soon as possible but handcrafted furniture does take time to build. Dining Room Chairs are handcrafted within 4-8 weeks.
Shipping can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks following that. Our Amish furniture is shipped with carefully selected companies that we have worked with over the years. These companies score high on their customer service and their care of the fine furniture they handle. They either blanket-wrap the furniture or shrink wrap and box it. In either case, the furniture is fully protected and insured.
Most of our American made furniture is shipped by PackShip USA, a small company that specializes in shipping Amish furniture. Other shippers include small, independent companies that we've grown to know and trust to handle our furniture over the years.
Please read the shipping information on our Terms & Conditions page for details on the delivery of our solid wood furniture. Our standard delivery is “curbside", meaning the driver isn't responsible to take the furniture into your home. Generally there is only one driver, and he will require your help unloading your heirloom furniture.
Our Amish handcrafted solid wood furniture will be well worth the wait! Please call for additional questions.
