American Craftsmanship ~ Amish Craftsmanship
MILLCRAFT
One of the hallmarks of Amish woodworking techniques is the precise and sturdy joinery used in making Amish furniture. Many pieces are made entirely of solid wood, often with no screws or brackets or pocket-hole joints holding any of the pieces together. Amish craftsmen often use mortise and tenon, dovetail, mitered or tongue and groove joinery along with a multi-step sanding process. They also hand apply all rubs, stains and finishes, including conversion varnishes, which is a coating that provides superior moisture resistance and is one of the most durable finishes available in the furniture industry. The skilled artistry of Amish furniture techniques, will ensure that your product is not only unique and beautiful, but that it will also last for generations.
