As we gear up for National Forestry week (March 20-25), we believe now is the perfect time to think about what items in your home are environmentally sound. Here at George’s Furniture, we are passionate about sustainable products—those that are good for the earth and hold great quality in your home.
Products from George’s Furniture are one-of-a-kind, and are handcrafted with the finest hardwood furniture made from trees grown in Pennsylvania’s forests. Locally made right here in Lancaster, PA, buying from George’s Furniture is naturally the most sustainable choice.
Unlike other materials—such as plastic, steel, or other metals—wood is a renewable resource as trees grow back! Using only the best trees for your furniture, the wood being used actually helps to offset the carbon emissions in the air.
In addition to reducing pollution, harvesting and manufacturing wood doesn’t produce wasted materials. While the main bulk of the wood is used to build our beautiful hand crafted furniture, the by-products are then used to produce mulch, wood pellets, and paper pulp. Additionally, the forest products industry is responsible for generating 77 percent of the country’s biomass energy. They are the largest producer of renewable energy and exceeds the nation’s solar and wind energy combined.
You may be wondering what we do with the wood waste, which we actually use to heat our air drying kiln which dries our walnut woods. Slowly air drying the walnut wood helps maintain the natural beauty of walnut grain, making it beautiful and unique!
So the next time you’re looking for eco-friendly, sustainable furniture, think of George’s Furniture. Come visit our woodshop and get a tour!

George’s Furniture is excited to announce that we have been selected to display a variety of handcrafted items at the 102nd PA Farm Show this weekend. The 2018 show runs from January 6 to 13 at the PA Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg.
The Wood Mobile will be sponsoring the display and we are thrilled to partner with them once again. The Wood Mobile has requested George’s Furniture—as well as other wood businesses—to display something unique. We will be showing our walnut blend extension table, as well as our hickory coffee table and end tables. Our unique walnut blend grain is extremely eye-catching and will definitely be a great conversation starter at gatherings in your home. Our walnut blend extension table can grow up to 13 or 21 feet long!
We hope you enjoy seeing our one-of-a-kind, handmade furniture up close! We know you’ll enjoy the beauty of the natural wood grain.

The new year has arrived, and along with it comes a refreshing opportunity to restart. The staff at George’s Furniture loves this time of year—not only for its optimistic nature but for the crisp winter air that surrounds us during this season.
What better way to usher in 2018 than to invest in our handcrafted, nationally recognized “Just Keeps Growing” extension table for your dining room. This custom-built hardwood table is designed with love to meet all of your family’s dining and entertaining needs. This cozy addition to your home begins at 42 inches wide and 50 inches long, but can quickly and easily be transformed into an extension table capable of growing to a length of 21 feet.
We realize that family and friends may come and go, so a lengthy table may not always be necessary. A table that “grows” is perfect for all occasions throughout this new year. We have matching storage racks or cabinets available which provide you with a compact and convenient place to store your extension leaves until your next big family gathering.
Start the new year off right by treating your family to a product of the highest quality—one that will serve not only your dining and gathering needs, but a long-lasting heirloom which can be passed down through generations.
Give us a call today at 1-800-799-1685, and allow us to design your perfect table.
