My parents order everything, from our dining table, to our family table, to our fireplace's wooden frame and to our furniture etc from the Amish and the Quakers. They are very good craftsmen. The furniture that they make lasts and is durable; handmade and worth every penny. Its expensive, but it is worth the investment.
Our German Sheppard, Kaiser Wilhelm Salvo Lucino "KAISER", is also from the Amish. We drove to Shippensburg, Pennsylvania back in 2004 to get him. He was at the time only 7 weeks old. And he was already a big furball. lol. Concidentally, there was a large Amish and Quaker population in that region of Pennsylvania.
Kaiser's father, Adam, was a large German Sheppard, powerful and was the sole sheppard that kept some 20+ sheep in line. ha ha ha.
I complemented one Amish man for his excellence in furniture making. For being a good carpenter.
He replied with a smile, "Yes, we try to be good. Being a carpenter is the best profession. Our Savior, Jesus Christ, was also a carpenter."
He smiled and got back to work.
I was brought to smile with that comment. Indeed, he is right. Jesus Christ who is Lord was a carpenter. And his earthly father, Joseph, was, too, a carpenter.
