Our Olde World Aging process invigorates our current line of furniture, revealing facets that normally take a hundred years to create.
Don’t worry about that first ding. It’s the least we can do. Our craftsmen painstakingly create an aged appearance into the wood that will arouse your senses, without compromising the structural integrity of your piece.
You may order A, B, or C level Olde World Aging on any of our standard woods. Select any of the stain colors that are standard on those woods or one of the Opaque Premium colors that are approved for other woods (see the Olde World samples at your local dealer). Example, you could ask us for level “A†Olde World Aging on Soft Maple with Bourbon stain and no wax. You would just need to add 25% to the soft maple price for that item. Our Olde World samples are all made of Character Cherry, which we feel is best suited for the technique because of the natural character it offers including open knots, small cracks, and other “imperfections†that help us mimic natural aging. Some of the Olde World colors are only available on character cherry or premium grade cherry. See the back of the sample.
This multi-step process is created using many different techniques to create the following traits:
- uneven surfaces
- the appearance of worm holes and cracks
- dents and time worn edges
- aged feel to the finish
All Olde World levels are available with our unique wax option. When requested we will wax the item, using a power buffer to buff off all the excess wax leaving a special aged feel to the finish. Please note this wax process doesn’t add additional protection to the furniture and finish, it’s all about the feel.
All up-charges are to be added to the base price of the item, in the wood of your choice. You don’t need to add the markup to any additional options. Each stain color we offer in the appropriate wood is included in the Olde World options. So, even if the color you choose is a premium color you will only be charged the Olde World Aging fee.
HOW IS OLDE WORLD CRAFTED?
Each piece of Simply Amish furniture ordered with Olde World Aging is crafted to the same standard of excellence as all the rest of our furniture. This ensures that your furniture is crafted with the same attention to detail that we have become known for.
Once the piece of furniture is completed, our craftsmen determine best way to age it by looking at:
- what characteristics of the wood should be enhanced
- what edges would receive the most wear over time
At this point the hard work begins. If the piece of furniture is getting the full level of distressing, then the surfaces are hand-plained, sanded, dings are added, edges are softened, and then sanded again. This process is repeated until the desired effect is achieved.
Once the distressing has been completed, the furniture undergoes several steps to achieve a desired color and finish that will stand the test of time.
The entire process creates a piece of furniture that appears to have been around for generations.
HOW TO ORDER OLDE WORLD
Step 1: Contact Barstools and Dinettes and select the desired color from the Olde World wood samples.
Step 2:Â Refer to the chart below and select the desired distressing level.
Step 3:Â Determine if waxing is to be included. Add 1 to include wax; 2 for no wax.
(Waxing adds an aged feel to the piece.)
Step 4:Â Add the upcharge percentage to determine the total price of the desired piece of furniture.
