Solid Oak Church PewsRatigan-Schottler offers a complete line of beautifully crafted solid Red Oak pews. All of our pew designs can be custom modified to meet your design requirements. Although Red Oak has been the traditional choice for church furniture because of its natural beauty, strength and durability, other hardwoods can be used such as: Maple, Cherry, Mahogany, Birch, along with many others. All pews come with many standard features including solid oak continuous rear mounted bookracks, solid oak end and center supports and a choice of solid oak pew ends. All pews with upholstery have been engineered with removable seats and backs for easy future reupholstering. ![]()
All Ratigan-Schottler standard pew bodies are available in a radius construction. Other radius pew suppliers produce their radius pews using thin oak veneers laminated to a scored particleboard or scored plywood core. Ratigan-Schottler provides an alternative to veneer radius pews with our exclusive solid oak radius pew construction techniques. Only the finest hardwoods are used in our radius pews. Many times churches are persuaded to use radius pews as an alternative to mitered pews where a mitered pew may work just as well and provide a substantial savings to the church. Ratigan-Schottler produces a wide range of standard solid oak pew bodies. If you’re not successful in finding what you are looking for in our catalog, or have a custom design in mind, we are experts in producing custom pew bodies from simple to complex. ![]()
Ratigan-Schottler provides an exceptional selection of beautiful solid oak pew ends to enhance the beauty of your church. All ends are constructed out of the finest Northern grown solid Red Oak available. Any end can be modified to meet your design requirements. All pew ends can be used on any pew body. Because all of our pew ends are constructed out of solid oak, special symbols and crosses can be routed into the pew end. Decorative shaper cuts, which are cut onto the outside or inside perimeter of the pew end are available and recommended not only to provide a nice finished touch but also to protect the edge of the pew ends. We will work with you to provide the exact design you are looking for. ![]()
