Restaurant Furniture Handcrafted by the Amish

We receive inquiries about our furniture for outfitting restaurants pretty consistently. It makes sense, when you think about it. The successful restaurant of today is careful. It uses quality ingredients and handcrafts them. It is against assembly-line mass production.

Our Amish furniture follows the same doctrine. The Amish take their time handcrafting , and the result is richer and more worthwhile than a hasty, processed design. Each of our pieces is unique yet consistent, and so is each dish in a successful restaurant.

The Amish religion originated from the Mennonite religion, with roots in Switzerland and Germany, fragmenting from them over the issue of Meidung. Meidung is a Mennonite xenophobia, whereby the anointed shun the excluded and the Amish tradition was born out of tolerance for others.

Their only law is biblical and even carried to the point of evading photography because graven images are forbidden by the Bible and because the Amish believe they promote unhealthy pride. They have rejected technology and lived in the same lifestyle methods for hundreds of years.

Amish reclaimed wood furniture is all about detail. Each piece of wood is handpicked and the unique quality of the wood is the primary consideration. For this reason, Amish furniture always has remarkably beautiful wood-grain and gorgeous construction. Their tools are hydraulically and pneumatically powered, and all the finishing work is done by hand, so every piece is truly unique.

Amish furniture has heart. Woodworking skills are passed by practice through generations and generations, so while the furniture may not have been crafted in the 1600s, its methods have not changed over the years. You are getting an authentic piece of furniture rooted in centuries of tradition.

Next time you see a piece of Old Barn Star barnwood furniture, think about its origins and the history from which they come. Through word of mouth and actual physical labor, your furniture is tapping into a long bygone era. Our products’ subtle beauty will sustain for years to come and perhaps you can make it a part of a new tradition in your family, where these beautiful heirlooms continue to live through generations.
