Red and White Oak

Oak is a favorite choice for solid wood Amish furniture due its superior strength and the fact that it is very easy to work with. Red oak tends to be reddish-brown in color, while white oak has more of a golden-brown hue and consists of finer grains. Red oak is the more popular and less expensive of the two, while white oak is often selected for manufacturing very fine furniture pieces.  White Oak is cut in on an angle which gives it the grainy look.  This is also called Quarter Sawn.

Maple (Brown)

A distinguishing feature of brown maple is its fine, straight grains that provide excellent stability.  This wood looks much like cherry when finished in a darker cherry color.  Brown Maple is become a popular option for furniture since this wood is a less costly option comparison to other hardwoods.  Hard Maple wood, on the other hand, is very hard, but not a good choice for staining since it can be blotchy looking.

Cherry

Cherry is a highly popular option in the manufacturing of solid wood Amish furniture and is known for its ability to stain and finish well. Cherry also ages gracefully, making it an excellent solid wood furniture choice if you’re looking for a piece that will continue to add beauty to your home for years to come. Cherry typically comes from sustainably grown forests, making it a preferred hardwood choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Walnut

Walnut is a dark brown wood with a hardness roughly equivalent to that of oak. While walnut is a bit more expensive than other types of hardwoods, the elegance offered by its deep, rich color makes it an excellent choice in solid wood Amish furniture for accents and inlays.

Hickory

Hickory is a solid wood Amish furniture staple that is gaining in popularity. Solid hickory is known for its wide variation in grain patterns that provides a highly distinctive appearance in a natural finish. Hickory is often the wood of choice in rustic settings such as log cabins and ranch houses.  Staining Hickory wood is also a great option.
