Hickory Furniture: Amish Hickory Dining Table and Chairs
Solid Hickory wood is one of the hardwood options available for all furniture at Dutch Craft Furniture of Berlin. Our local Amish furniture makers in Ohio build custom furniture items in Hickory. Let's explore the characteristics and style of this extremely durable hardwood furniture option.
Is Hickory a Good Wood for Furniture?
Hickory is an excellent choice for solid wood furniture. The Janka wood hardness rating ranks Hickory wood at 1820, making it the hardest wood type we offer. Hickory wood has a prominent grain texture, similar to Oak in some ways.
Being extremely hard and dense, Hickory wood dining tables withstand daily use easily. The light wood colors and rustic grain texture hide most light scratches that may occur over time.
What is Wooden Hickory Furniture Like?
Natural Hickory is light blonde colored, with dark streaks in the wood. Hickory furniture is available in select grade or rustic grade wood. The select grade has less color variation in the wood, creating a more formal and traditional appeal. Select grade Hickory wood also has more waste in manufacturing, resulting in a higher price tag.
Rustic grade Hickory wood is an affordable furniture option that many people love. The color variation and natural knots in the wood add interest and a rustic appeal. Rustic Hickory wood naturally pairs well with classic farmhouse and modern organic decor styles.
Natural Hickory wood
Natural Hickory dining tables are blonde colored, with boards ranging from almost white to light brown. We feature a mid-century modern table in Natural Hickory. The sleek lines of the table create beautiful contrast to the rustic wood grain.
Some Hickory wood furniture is perfect for wood cabins, featuring designs that highlight the natural Hickory log. These Hickory log furniture designs are often primitive and rustic, finished without any wood stain.
Light stain colors like Willowbend and Cocoa Light are current favorites for a solid Hickory dining table. These light-colored stains appear almost natural, while minimizing the dramatic color variations. These stain colors also downplay the overly blonde tones in the wood. The stunning Alexandria dining collection and the Alberta Round Hickory Dining Table feature Willowbend stain.
Cocoa Light stain is a bit darker than Willowbend. This warm, light brown stain shines on a wide range of table styles. Browse our gallery and see classic table options like the Biltmore and the Classic Shaker Dining Table. Rustic farmhouse styles like the Rowan Trestle table and the small Lakeland Dining Table feature Cocoa Light as well.
Another popular stain color for Hickory wood is Honey Cider. Honey Cider has a warmer tone than Cocoa Light, creating beautiful contrast when paired with black Windsor dining chairs. We display the Settler's Trestle Dining Collection in Hickory wood with Honey Cider stain. The matching Hickory sideboard is perfect for storing all your wine and stemware.
Hickory White Dining Tables
Several specialty finishes create stunning Hickory white dining tables. Our Carlisle Double Pedestal Table features a white painted Oak base and Hickory wood tabletop. White painted table bases are perfect for brightening up your dining room. This also creates contrast between the tabletop and a wood floor.
The Whiskey Barrel tables display another light finish on rustic Hickory wood, called Simply White. Simply White mutes the blonde Hickory wood tones while allowing the rustic grain texture to shine.
Selecting Matching Hickory Dining Chairs
Match any dining chair style with a Hickory dining room table. Solid wood dining chairs in Hickory use mostly select grade wood, creating the strongest chair frame. Chair seats may feature rustic wood upon request.
Upholstered dining chairs like the Millbridge feature Hickory wood legs to match the table. Many two-tone chairs feature black or white painted frames with Hickory seats. The solid black, Windsor style of the Millcreek chairs in Maple wood is an affordable choice to pair with any Hickory wood table.
