For these reasons, hand built and hand finished wood furniture products are never identical, no matter the skill and attention of the craftsman. But this is precisely the point, not a problem! By hand, Amish artisans seek to accentuate the beauty of nature, not obscure it, in defiance of contemporary mass-production trends.

And when we say "by hand," we mean it. Hand-sawn, hand-sanded, hand-built, and hand-finished are not techniques of the past. Dado, dowel, and mortise-and-tenon joinery endure with the Amish, resulting in furniture that lasts. Drawer boxes are durable, made with thick boards dovetailed together, and sealed to ensure longevity. Beds, tables, cabinets, and chairs are made alike, all meticulously designed with form and function in mind.

After the wood is sourced, dried, stabilized, and the piece designed and constructed, it's time for the finishing details. All finished surfaces are treated with a post-catalyzed varnish that protects the wood from most liquids for 24 hours. There are thousands of possible combinations of stains, finishes, and hardware choices, all of which can radically transform your piece. You can find colors ranging from sunkissed gold to deepest blacks, all reinvigorating the wood's natural beauty with rich color and supple texture. Want a bedroom made with cool-toned White Oak, weathered and aged with a rough wire-brushed texture, or perhaps elegant Cherry, stained in a deep earthtone with a clear top coat as smooth as glass? The choice is yours.
