Standard features of Jake’s Amish Crafted Furniture
Drawer boxes are made of solid wood and most of them have dovetail corners, with a quarter inch plywood bottom.
Most backs of our Amish Crafted case goods are constructed of quarter inch plywood that is embedded in the back so it is flush, for structural strength, but not necessarily sightly. If you want to set your piece of furniture out in the middle of a room or somewhere, where the back will be visible, you need to ask for it to be made sightly otherwise the backs can not be expected to look good enough for viewing.
Amish Furniture builders use plywood as needed to prevent splitting, warping and cracking.
The raised panels of sides and doors are constructed of five solid wood pieces; this is not merely for decoration, but grants relief for expansion and contraction of the natural solid hardwood.
Dining tables come standard with 1″ thick solid wood tops; No particle board or veneers!
The legs of our chairs are held together with glue and screws, and / or mortise & tenon construction.
