Hi Ed, Just received my ottoman. It is beautiful.
No problems and glad I waited.<<
The Process:
The construction of an heirloom chest or other furniture begins with lumber that has been aged under cover for almost a year to dry it out to a level of moisture where it can be moved to a drying kiln for two weeks.
This reduces the wood to the proper moisture level of about 10% and kills any internal bugs that might be present in the core of the tree wood.
Those boards then go to a facility that combines them into a glued up panel suitable for the top and sides and back of the toy box or other furniture item. There are at least five different levels of wood quality for those boards. Our supplier sorts the boards and uses only the highest quality. Overall business is so large as to overwhelm those board making panel facilities so that it takes about ten weeks to make up the toy box panels or other furniture panels of the appropriate high quality.
Then our Amish builder receives them and schedules them in his facility, which is backed up for the three or more workmen by about 8 weeks.
The complete fully assembled chest or other furniture item then goes to the finishing facility for staining and overcoat protection. They are running about four weeks.
There is no way to rush the process, because training a skilled wood worker takes a few years and non-Amish do not to want to do that work that is very labor intensive. The Amish have to raise their own workers! We appreciate your patience while this process goes forward for your order!
A great many motels, hotels and eateries have discovered Amish furniture has outstanding durability, long life and attractive ruggedness, so they are ordering heavily. Most Amish shops are up at least 50% in back orders, which means your order may take awhile longer than it has in the past!
