The Galveston Dining set from our AW Amish collection is made from quarter sawn solid oak and Michael's finish. Quarter Sawn oak is made from sawing the wood at ninety degree angle to the natural line of the grain. This gives the grain the look of straight lines that flow parallel to the wood's cut producing a unique effect. Quarter-sawn boards have greater stability of form and size with less warping and/or shrinkage making it a favorable choice for customers seeking high quality solid wood furniture. The Galveston dining set is proudly handcrafted in Ohio and stained and finished in Indiana, USA.
