Wood Type ~ Hickory

Hickory is quickly becoming a popular wood for Amish Furniture. Clients love the contrasting color patters when sprayed clear that is not found in today’s mass produced furniture. It is the skilled eye of the Amish artisans that have the ability and skill required to glue together wood patterns that are pleasing to the eye giving Amish furniture that unique look everyone has come to adore.

Hickory is the hardest of the woods that Amish artisans currently use. It’s ranks on the Janka hardness scale at 1820 lbf (pounds-force), twice that of cherry. Hickory furniture can be identified by its weight. It is very heavy and will last generations if properly cared for.

  1. The color patterns are unusual and quite unique. I can see why this would be a popular choice. No one wants something that looks exactly like what someone else has. Heck, I'd like to have this myself. It's pretty big as night stands go and I like that too.

  2. This is kind of on the light side for my taste but the pattern is an attention getter. I could probably get used to this without trying too hard.

  3. I really like the contrast of shades on this nightstand. It's very unusual and catches your eye. I'm assuming there is other bedroom furniture to match this. I'm getting ready to move my bedroom outfit to the guest room and buy something new for myself. I'm so glad I found your site.
