Proper Planning

To first begin building solid wood furniture, the Amish begin by properly planning the dimensions of the dining room table, chair, office desk, living room chair, or the oak corner hutch. They do this by measuring and making accurate drawings.

Handcrafted in a Shop

Once properly planned, they begin sawing all the necessary pieces for the furniture and gluing them together to make sure the wood is completely uniform. You can customize the furniture to meet your needs and we at Countryside Cabinetry work diligently to do so.

Custom Routed Furniture

Many different pieces of the furniture require special routing and that is another reason why we offer great quality handcrafted furniture. We offer specially designed and crafted furniture pieces that stick out and are not made in china or over-seas.

Dovetailed Drawers

Dovetailed drawers is a major importance when purchasing furniture due to the furniture holding up over time. In most cases, our dovetailed drawer boxes will stand true to 200 pounds of weight. Now that is impressive for solid wood Amish furniture!

Hand Sanding

The hand sanding process that is used for our solid oak dining tables, chairs, and furniture is also important. The sanding portion of the process allows the furniture to be smoothed out before the stain is hand rubbed which is the next process.

Hand-Rubbed Stain & Catalyzed Varnish

A hand-rubbed stain and catalyzed varnish is important for the furniture in the finishing phase. We offer hand rubbed stains and even now offer bi-color stains which are a premium stain.

Quality Extension Table Slides

Pictured to the left is our gear driven slides that allow you as the customer to open and close the table flawlessly. No more old wood grind slides that make it a difficult task to open the table. Also, within these gear driven slides, most tables can actually self store the table leaves within the table.
