The Essentials Of Handmade Wood Furniture

By Jeffrey Stone


Furniture is not what it used to be in the old days when solid wood was handcrafted to create them. This has been caused by the increased demand for fittings leading to the development of cheaper ways of producing them. These new ways of creating furniture involve the use of manufactured wood and machines making fittings. This increases the production level to meet the demand. This article will discuss the benefits of handmade wood furniture.

Most handcrafted fittings are more durable than industry manufactured fittings. This is attributed to the fact that industries are in the business to maximize profits and not the quality of fittings they produce. Fittings in industries are made from weak low quality manufactured timber that is less costly and not created to last. However, fittings that are handcrafted and made from solid timber are a lifetime investment that can be passed down to generations.

Using handcrafted furnishes made from solid timber proves cheaper in the long run than using manufactured furnishes that are cheap. This rotates around durability where the cost of replacing furnishes from time to time ends up being costlier than the cost of buying handcrafted ones. Thus, it is recommendable to use handcrafted solid timber fittings because they are cheap to maintain and are not easily replaced because of wearing off.

Another important gain of using handcrafted solid timber fittings is that they can be customized to fit the clients' designs. This is very important because it creates uniqueness and gives clients exactly what they require. Manufactured fittings on the other hand usually have a specific design with differentiated color and patterns used. This increases the probability of finding the same type of furnishes in different places.

Handcrafted solid timber furnishes are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Their ability to last for long reduces wastage and pilling up of disposed unwanted furnishes that are worn out taking up a lot of space. When handcrafted furnishes wear out, solid timber used to make them may be recycled but materials used in making manufactured furnishes are of low quality and cannot be recycled.

Distribution and cycle of money within a society is essential in its development. Use of handcrafted solid timber furnishes ensures that money is distributed within the society through buying furnishes from local artisans. This is considered as a kind gesture in supporting local industries and the community at large and a key issue in societal development. The cost of transporting furniture to the clients' homes is also reduced greatly.

The energy requirements in making handcrafted solid timber furnishes are very minimal compared to the energy required to make industry manufactured furnishes. A lot of coal, nuclear and natural gas energy is employed in making manufactured furnishes leading to a lot of emissions into the environment. Handcrafted furnishes do not produce any harmful emissions to the environment.

Use of handcrafted solid timber furnishes creates a class of craftsmen in a society with very high skills. This is an important gain for a society because it creates a heritage of craftsmanship that is passed down to generations. This becomes a pride of the society and a development pillar.
