Then, it is often moved to a local finish shop&nbsp;to be finished with a beautiful PCL stain and a&nbsp;top-coat&nbsp;of Catalyzed Conversion Varnish&nbsp;before delivery. This process affords you the option to select your stain color, the sheen of varnish, and much more.&nbsp;&nbsp;The majority of&nbsp;our indoor furniture is finished with stains from the&nbsp;<a href=\"#preferred-color-list\">Preferred Color List (PCL)<\/a>&nbsp;collection of stains.

Why? Because there are so many colors to choose from! From the whitewashed Mineral stain to the popular Michael\u2019s Cherry to a dark Onyx, your stain selection can transform a piece of wood furniture. That makes it one of the most fun parts of the ordering process!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"comparison\">Stain Color Comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>How do you compare stain colors? Well, start right here with our infographics comparing PCL stain colors. We graphed our stain options by darkness and by color tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, choose your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/solid-wood-furniture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wood type<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, view the infographics below to see stain options in that wood. We&#8217;ve posted infographics for our five most popular wood types: oak, brown maple, quarter sawn white oak, hard maple, and cherry. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Finally, order samples and compare them in your home. These graphics will help you identify groups of stain colors based on their color tone and darkness. Pick four stains that you&#8217;d like to see in person, then place your order for stain samples!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"infographics\">Stain Color

Sanding, staining, and sealing all require an experienced hand; it&#8217;s really an art form!&nbsp;For more information, read our blog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/protection-to-solid-wood-furniture-facts-about-finishing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Adding Color and Finishing to Solid Wood Furniture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Amish furniture finishing process includes the following steps:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sanding&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Sanding contributes a great deal to a good finish job. All joints, corners and surfaces must be sanded smooth. It takes Amish woodworkers time to complete the sanding. They use sandpaper and sanding belts for larger surfaces.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stain Application&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once&nbsp;sanding&nbsp;is finished, woodworkers apply the stain&nbsp;color. It is carefully sprayed on evenly. After covering the entire piece of furniture, woodworkers use cloths to hand rub the stain. Wood absorbs a good deal of stain, enhancing the grain pattern before any excess stain is wiped off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drying&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, the stain is left to dry, oftentimes overnight. Once the stain is dry, finish specialists inspect the furniture to see if any more sanding is needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finish&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, woodworkers apply <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/what-is-catalyzed-conversion-varnish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Catalyzed Conversion Varnish<\/a> to seal the piece. This clear coat helps protect&nbsp;the wood\u2019s surface from scratches, moisture, and heat. We highly recommend our standard semi-gloss varnish for most indoor furniture, but you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/blog\/low-sheen-varnish\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read&nbsp;more<\/a> about varnish sheens to help make your decision when you order.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amish-stains\">Amish Stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wood furniture always stands out from furniture made with lesser materials, and the stain color you choose has a huge&nbsp;impact&nbsp;on the look of your wood furniture. Amish stains are colors you can count on, with PCL stains&nbsp;leading the way. PCL, or Preferred Color List, is a standardized collection of stain colors that Amish craftsmen have chosen that suit a variety of wood types. The Amish stain colors you choose can be trusted to bring out the natural beauty of solid wood in the best way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1140\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JR-Houston-Dresser-Comparison-Web-1.jpg\" alt=\"A Rough Sawn Dresser is pictured before and after finishing to illustrate the value of stains on Amish furniture\" class=\"wp-image-1686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JR-Houston-Dresser-Comparison-Web-1.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JR-Houston-Dresser-Comparison-Web-1-300x110.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JR-Houston-Dresser-Comparison-Web-1-1024x375.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/JR-Houston-Dresser-Comparison-Web-1-768x281.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1140px) 100vw, 1140px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The value of finishing is immediately apparent, adding character, sheen, and beautiful color to a piece of furniture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Color Variation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The appearance of stain will vary greatly, not just across wood types but also across pieces of the same wood type. If perfect uniformity and an exact color are what you need, unfortunately, solid wood may not meet your expectations. Solid wood is a natural material. It\u2019s impossible to predict exactly how the wood will take the stain until it\u2019s applied. Only then do we see the natural variation, flecks, and spots that stain emphasizes. It\u2019s that authentic beauty that is brought to life in the finish shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stain-collections\">The Amish Furniture Stain Collections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"preferred-color-list\">Preferred Color List Stains (PCL)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here at DutchCrafters, we offer the Preferred Color List (PCL) stain collection for the vast majority of our indoor hardwood Amish furniture products. If you\u2019re interested in purchasing&nbsp;anything built in oak, cherry, brown maple,&nbsp;or&nbsp;hard maple,&nbsp;you&#8217;ll&nbsp;probably get to select a stain from the Preferred Color List.

However, painting wood furniture can be a great choice as well.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why paint solid wood furniture?&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The biggest reason to paint wood&nbsp;furniture is&nbsp;to fit an aesthetic or design scheme. If you have a home design without much natural woodgrain, or with a modern aesthetic, you may want the benefits of solid wood without the appearance. Black, white, or colored paint can accomplish that.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another reason to paint wood furniture is that it can give the appearance and feel of woodgrain while matching the color scheme in a room.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The last, and perhaps our favorite, reason to paint wood furniture is to draw contrast with stained wood in a two-tone color scheme. Many people paint table bases black or white while staining the&nbsp;tabletop. Or they may order two-tone chairs, bedroom sets, or kitchen islands. These two-tone finishes help make your furniture a beautiful, attention-grabbing centerpiece to a room.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kioken-column inner-column-2 kioken-column_41aed3-e8\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col has-background-image bg-no-repeat bg-center-center bg-cover\" style=\"background-blend-mode:normal;background-image:url(https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Amish-Finish-Shop-Women-Framed-Web.jpg)\"><div>\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"433\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Amish-Finish-Shop-Women-Framed-Web.jpg\" alt=\"Amish women working in a wood finishing shop\" class=\"wp-image-1688\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Amish-Finish-Shop-Women-Framed-Web.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Amish-Finish-Shop-Women-Framed-Web-217x300.jpg 217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 433px) 100vw, 433px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If any of the above reasons appeal to you, you may consider painting your furniture. Your first decision, before selecting a paint color, is which wood type you&#8217;d like to paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Wood Type Is Best to Paint? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pine wood<\/strong> is often painted. This &#8220;soft wood&#8221; is less expensive than hardwoods and displays frequent knots in its light, fine wood grain. Some shoppers desire the price point of pine but want to cover the knots and variations with paint. That&#8217;s where pine is a great option. Our craftspeople who work with hardwoods do not use pine. If you want pine, you&#8217;ll have to shop specifically for pine wood furniture designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are set on having the feel and durability of hardwood, you&#8217;ll likely want to select either brown maple or oak wood to paint. These are two of the most affordable hardwoods and offer you two options: smooth grain (brown maple) or rough grain (oak). Brown maple is the choice for you if you&#8217;d rather have unblemished color without visible woodgrain texture.&nbsp;A less popular option for painting, oak&#8217;s rough grain pattern is textured and gives a hint of natural wood&#8217;s appearance, even&nbsp;through&nbsp;the paint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"1763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PinePainted-Web-1.jpg\" alt=\"Painted Pine Wood Close Up\" class=\"wp-image-1763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PinePainted-Web-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PinePainted-Web-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PinePainted-Web-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/PinePainted-Web-1-190x190.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pine&#8217;s smooth grain looks great when painted.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"1759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BrownMaplePainted-Web-1.jpg\" alt=\"Painted Brown Maple Wood Close Up\" class=\"wp-image-1759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BrownMaplePainted-Web-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BrownMaplePainted-Web-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BrownMaplePainted-Web-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/BrownMaplePainted-Web-1-190x190.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brown maple pairs hardwood durability with smooth grain that takes paint well.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" data-id=\"1761\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OakPainted-Web-1.jpg\" alt=\"Painted Black Oak Wood Chair Close Up\" class=\"wp-image-1761\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OakPainted-Web-1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OakPainted-Web-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OakPainted-Web-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.dutchcrafters.com\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/OakPainted-Web-1-190x190.jpg 190w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Oak&#8217;s rough woodgrain is often visible even through paint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything You Need to Know About Amish Furniture Finishes There are two goals to&nbsp;finishing&nbsp;solid wood: to enhance the beauty of the natural wood grain and to protect it from damage and discoloration throughout its life.&nbsp;So how is that done?
