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.

Solid handcrafted timber fittings are more durable that industry made fittings. Industries aim is profit making and not the durability of products they make. Thus, the fittings produced in industries are made of low quality manufactured timber that is not created to last. Fittings made from solid timber are very strong and durable that can be passed down to generations still in perfect condition.

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.

Having unique furniture whose designs are dictated by the client is an important advantage that a client can gain from using handcrafted solid timber fittings. However, industries cannot be able to give their clients the specific designs each client requires because of their large market base. This scenario shows that fittings produced are of the same design but differentiated by color and patterns used.

Handcrafted fittings are eco-friendly. The fact that they are made to last, they reduce instances of pilling up cheap stuff that has already worn out to peoples' landfill, unlike manufactured fittings. When solid timber furnishings wear out, timber used in making them can be recycled to serve other purposes but manufactured furnishings are a waste when they wear out and cannot be reused again.

The use of handcrafted furniture promotes the flow of income and resources within a society. Many solid timber furnishings are made by local artisans within the society thus money paid for furnishes remains within the society. This is a good way to support local industries and the community at large. In addition, cost of transporting furnishes is greatly reduced because the distance to clients' homes is not very far.

A lot of nuclear, coal and natural gas energy is required in the industrial manufacture of furnishes compared to energy requirements of handcrafted furniture. Thus, there is a lot of emissions into the environment associated with the industrial manufacture of furnishes. Handcrafting way of making furniture is very effective and requires minimal and clean energy that does not have harmful emissions.

Handcrafted furnishes use is very advantageous to a society through the creation of a craftsmanship heritage. This is a class of highly skilled artisans who pass down their skills to generations that come after them. This is important for the development of a society because it creates pride and a feeling of belonging to the society members.
