The Country Charm of an Amish made
Oak and Hickory Rocker.
The Amish Peddler is proud to
present the line of Amish oak and hickory rockers that has become synonymous
with our Amish.
Use our rocking chair on your
porch while cooling off with a glass of lemonade or in the nursery while putting
the baby to sleep. Amish made in the traditional fashion-hickory saplings are
chosen according to size, thoroughly dried, steamed until flexible then bent to
the desired design. Contoured oak slats comfortably fit the natural curvature of
your back. Each rocker signed, dated and numbered.
Our craftsmen have been making
these rockers for many years and now offer you this traditional oak and hickory
rocker made in the same fashion that many Amish work–without the aid of
electricity and other contemporary tools.
The seat and the back of the
rockers as well as the support pieces are steamed and then bent to conform to
the body and offer relaxation after a hard day’s work.
The finish, a varnish a
little harder than polyurethane is applied by hand and will protect your chair
so it will provide many years of satisfaction and enjoyment.
Please remember
that no finish can be totally impervious to weather. If you are using your chairs on a porch, you may need to lightly sand them and apply another coat of
polyurethane or marine spar varnish as needed. No padding is need on this rocker
which contours to your body.
Not all Amish-made furniture is
heirloom quality.
Our wood finish is applied by hand and, with simple
maintenance, will protect your chair and give you many years of satisfaction and
enjoyment. Strong and generous in size, our rockers exemplify the Amish work
ethic of value for your dollar and long lasting pieces. Please remember that
they are each made individually so no two are exactly alike.
SHIPPING
The average shipping cost for one rocker is anywhere between
$80-160. If you are interested in purchasing two rockers the shipping will
only be about an additional $40.00. It costs more to ship a rocker that has flat oak arms than a bent
hickory arms because of the rocker being wider.
It has always been our policy that our
customers will pay only the actual shipping costs and an additional $14 for the
Amish man to package it for shipping.
