The Essentials Of Handmade Wood Furniture

By Jeffrey Stone


The value and worth of furniture has really changed as time passes by. Fittings and fixtures are not of the same quality they were in the past as their value has really been reduced. This has been attributed to high demand for furniture leading to the adoption of other cheap means of producing fittings at a cheaper cost by industries. This excerpt will discuss the gains of using handmade wood furniture in the current world.

There is guaranteed durability when one buys handcrafted solid timber furnishes unlike industry made furnishings. This is because many industries' main aim is to maximize their profits and not the quality of furnishings they produce. Thus, their furniture is made from low quality weak manufactured timber that is not designed to last for long. Handcrafted fittings are very strong and can last to 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.

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.

Another important gain accrued from using handcrafted solid timber furnishes is the fact that they are biodegradable and friendly to the environment. Often replacement of furniture leads to a pile of non-recyclable and worn out furnishes regarded as waste that occupies a lot of space. In the event that solid timber furnishes wear out, materials used in their making can be reused to serve other purposes.

Distribution of income within a society is facilitated by acquiring handcrafted timber furnishings. This is achieved by the fact that solid timber furnishings are made by artisans within the society making the money paid for them remain in the society. This is seen as supporting local society and community at large and at the same time, it saves on the cost incurred in transporting furnishings since it is within the same location.

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.
