Furniture 101
Learn about the fundamentals of high quality, handcrafted wooden furniture.
Wooden furniture can be separated into two basic groups:
1) High quality, long-lasting.
Designed for function and durability
Mainly constructed of hardwood materials
Components joined together using techniques that emphasize strength
2) Cheap, non-durable.
Designed for manufacturing and shipping
Constructed of laminated particle board with decorative laminate surfaces
Components joined together with staples, nails, and screws
Appearance, strength, and cost are the major factors in wood selection. Not all wood species are the same.
WOOD SELECTION
If the wood species is the heart of the furniture piece, then the construction joints are the skeleton that ensure durability.
