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.

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.

Cost saving, in the long run, is also associated with the use of handcrafted solid timber furnishes. Manufactured furnishes are not durable creating need to be replaced from time to time. This may prove to be more expensive than anticipated as the cost of acquiring new furnishing every time is very high. However, handcrafted fittings may be expensive in the short run but end up being economical in the long run.

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.

The art of craftsmanship is promoted through the sale of handcrafted solid timber furniture. This improves skills of artisans through exposure to clients' different designs throughout time making a class of skilled craftsmanship within a society. This builds a tradition of craftsmanship that is passed through to generations as a heritage and pride of the society. Manufactured furnishings contribute to dwindling craftsmanship.
