Features of East Earl Hutches
The hutches in our East Earl Collection masterfully handcrafted in solid oak, cherry, or maple wood and beautifully finished with a Gemini Stain for magnificent appeal.
Unless otherwise noted, the hutches in this collection feature hidden hinges for an elegant appeal that emphasizes clean lines and the beauty of the solid wood.
This hutch comes with a standard solid wood tongue and grove hutch-top back. If a mirror back is selected, then solid wood plywood is used instead.
The hutch also features beautifully crafted mouldings and decorative engraved insets.
The drawers on this hutch are dovetailed drawers with high quality full extension drawer slides, giving you ease of motion and complete and easy access to all of the drawer contents.
Additional features of this hutch include handsome hardware and tempered glass panes for easy viewing of the contents.
Options include tempered glass shelves with hardwood trim, touch-lighting for easy on and off, and mirror backs for maximum elegance.
The hutch is finished using a two part catalyzed finish that features stains and varnishes from Gemini. A rich, penetrating stain, Gemini is available in several wood tone colors and can be used to enhance any bare or stripped wood surface. It penetrates deep into the pores to seal and protect the wood and is ideal for staining furniture, cabinets, doors, trim, molding and hardwood floors.
The hutch top is delivered with blocks (that are stained with the hutch) on the bottom of each side to protect it during shipping. Take slight pressure to them with a screwdriver to pop them off before setting the hutch top on the buffet.

Solid Hardwood
At a time when mass production and the use of synthetics and veneers has become the standard, we offer you solid wood furniture, inside and out. Our craftsmen pay personal attention to detail, quality, and craftsmanship instead of volume. And because each piece is handcrafted, you can be assured that the furniture you purchase is made of the highest quality wood.
Our handcrafted solid hardwood furniture is generally available in oak or cherry wood. Some pieces are also available in quartersawn oak, hard maple, brown maple, walnut, hickory or birch. Please see the Quick Spec information above to find out what wood is available with this piece. The picture here shows the differences between the hardwoods that we offer.
Oak wood is a naturally light wood with a prominent grain, which makes groves in the wood that you can feel when you slide your finger across them. This grain is evident even with dark stains and usually appears darker than the rest of the wood. Knots may occasionally appear in the wood, which add to its character. Oak has a strong heavy hook and the look isn't deceiving. When finished natural it will have a pale blonde reddish cast, which overtime will oxidize to a golden honey color. A great choice for staining. Quarter Sawn Oak stains very well. Beautiful irregular markings or flakes are a result of logs cut in a special way. Quarter Sawn Oak is known for its amazing strength and firm texture. Quarter Sawn Oak is a top choice for many of our customers!
Cherry wood has less grain and is quite smooth. A favorite for good reasons! Cherry has many interesting characteristics. Aging to a rich reddish brown color over time and often peppered with exotic black specs and swirling grain. It has a natural light gold/red tone but can be stained to create many appearances. Cherry has very small knots that are dark in appearance and sometimes create a dip in the wood. Cherry naturally darkens with age and sometimes features contrasts in color. This is part of the charm of cherry, and should be expected. We recommend a light to medium stain on cherry wood.
Hard Maple is naturally a light wood with very little grain that is quite smooth. Maple mellows to beautiful golden tone overtime. Occasionally flecked with naturally occurring black mineral deposits. Maple is an excellent choice for strong durable furniture. Maple can also be stained to create many appearances. Dark stains may stain unevenly. Brown Maple comes from the same logs as regular maple but is the darker heartwood. Can be a smart choice for darker staining or painting. It can stain unevenly.
Walnut is a dark wood with a medium amount of grain that makes slight groves in the wood. Even with different stains, the appearance of walnut does not change much. Knots may occasionally appear in the wood. Walnut will bring extra elegance to any room. If your tastes run more toward the formal, then the rich dark browns of walnut may be the way to go.
Hickory is a very hard and durable wood by mixing the color tones the finished product is a characteristic piece of natural art. The appearance of natural hickory does vary from a very light appearance to a medium light appearance. Birch grain sometimes has a curl which creates an iridescent effect. Light to medium blond sapwood usually but not always contrasts against darker toned heartwood. Curl can also cause uneven staining. Will age to a golden color.
The beauty and durability provided by solid hardwood is undeniable. It provides several unique benefits:
- Enduring value from one generation to another.
- Natural warmth that synthetics cannot give.
- Expression of each individual tree by its own unique color and grain.
Solid hardwood furniture can also be repaired if damaged because there is no veneer or artificial surface that can be scraped or rubbed through.
Hardwoods are a natural fiber. Therefore, even furniture that has a good protective finish may swell or shrink slightly from one season to another. With proper care, your solid wood furniture will bring you satisfaction for years to come.

The buffet backs and drawer bottoms are made of all wood plywood to protect them from the contraction and expansion of natural solid wood.

Choose between wood or glass shelves, add lights or mirror backs, or change the door design, depending on the hutch you’re purchasing.
Most of our woodworkers finish their hutches in the stain of your choice with a catalyzed lacquer or varnish. It is chosen to withstand years of wear. Our Cottage Collection hutches are finished with a paint and wax finish to fit the cottage primitive style. We offer a wide variety of stain and paint options to closely match existing furniture or fit the décor preferences of the customer. We will gladly send out samples to help you in your finish selection.

Amish Furniture Delivered with Care
The Amish furniture in our East Earl Collection is handcrafted and stained after your order is placed. Normally this takes about 12-14 weeks to complete.
Shipping can take anywhere from 1-2 weeks following that. Our Amish furniture is shipped with carefully selected companies that we have worked with over the years. These companies score high on their customer service and their care of the fine furniture they handle. They either blanket-wrap the furniture or shrink wrap and box it. In either case, the furniture is fully protected and insured.
Please read the shipping information on our Terms & Conditions page for details on the delivery of our solid wood furniture. Our standard delivery is "curbside", meaning the driver isn't responsible to take the furniture into your home. Generally there is only one driver, and he will require your help unloading your heirloom furniture.
Furniture from our East Earl Collection ships from a secluded and scenic hillside in Pennsylvania. Each piece is inspected before it leaves the shop! The East Earl Collection is our oldest collection, yet we have rarely had any damage or defects!
