Minnesota Amish woodworking

The North Star State is home to a number of Amish communities, the largest of which is found near the town of Harmony in Fillmore County. Amish in Minnesota number over 3,000, with communities found across the state (Read more on Minnesota Amish settlements). While Amish have traditionally relied on farming, furniture craftsmanship has provided many Minnesota Amish families an alternative occupation. Amish furniture making has grown into a thriving industry, with a number of Amish shops and furniture retailers found across Minnesota.

Amish woodworking is typically based in small shops located on Amish property near the home. Woodworking shops typically have anywhere from a handful of employees, to up to 30 or more, though less than 10 workers is most common. In some cases, only family members will assist in a furniture shop. Amish prefer the small-scale in most things they do, believing such an approach to be more manageable, and more likely to assure them of a favorable outcome–whether it comes to the prosperity of their Christian-based communities or the quality of their furniture craftsmanship.

Furniture styles and materials

Amish furniture pieces come in a wide range of woods, designs, and finishes. Amish may seem slow to change, but when it comes to satisfying their customers, Amish will create any range of furniture pieces, even those which they wouldn’t use in their own homes, such as contemporary styles.  Amish furniture craftsmen have proven to be creative and adaptable within the competitive furniture industry.

Outdoor Amish furniture is one of many popular varieties available from Minnesota dealers

Hardwoods used by Amish craftsmen include maple, birch, oak, hickory, quartersawn oak, cherry, and more. Common designs include the ever-popular Mission, Shaker, Colonial, and Craftsman styles. Some Amish furniture makers specialize in rustic hickory furniture, often used to create rockers and tables. Other Amish focus on outdoor furniture products, like gazebos, sheds, and playsets. Some create animal hutches, chicken coops, and doghouses as well. The poly outdoor furniture segment has become popular with Amish manufacturers in recent years.

Indoor furniture

In the home, the range of Amish furniture styles is broad. Living room pieces such as coffee tables, entertainment centers, sofas, and many others are found in the Amish repertoire.  In the kitchen, we find Amish-crafted cabinets and accessories such as pantries and pie holders.  Bedroom suites include bedframes, armoires, dressers, and a wide range of other pieces. Children’s furniture such as chairs, rocking horses, and other pieces are made by numerous Amish woodworkers. The office is not neglected either, with desks, bookcases, and computer centers common items produced in Amish workshops.

Finishing

Once furniture pieces are crafted, they leave Amish woodworking shops, usually headed for a local Amish finishing shop, where stain, sealer and final coat of finish are applied. Furniture finishing has been described by Amish as an “art”, and applying the proper amount of coat and avoiding runs are two important elements of this crucial final stage. Amish furniture stains come in a wide range to suit diverse customer needs.

Where to buy Minnesota Amish furniture

Minnesota’s Amish population dates to the 1970s, and since that time the Minnesota Amish furniture industry has developed as demand for Amish furniture has grown.  Amish woodworkers in Harmony and other settlements provide a steady stream of furniture pieces for customers in Minnesota and beyond.  Minnesota Amish furniture shoppers have a wide range of options, from buying furniture direct from a Minnesota Amish furniture shop, to ordering Amish furniture online, to purchasing their pieces through retail sellers of Amish furniture across Minnesota.
