Amish Furniture
One way to tell if you truly have purchased a piece of Amish furniture is to inspect the item to see if it is made of 100 percent wood. No particle board or laminate should be use.
Each piece of wood is selected by hand in order to best match the piece of furniture the craftsman has in mind to create. He will look at the wood's grain to ensure it will help achieve the look he is going for in his creation. In fact Amish furniture craftsman look at their craft as art as well as furniture. They create each piece and for beauty with the idea that it will last in a family for generations.
