A huge number of furniture factories offer the widest range products according to the most low prices. From the catalogs you can choose any model, from any material. But where the price is lower, the quality also drops. The cheapest wood is used, which does not last long marketable condition and breaks quickly.
To save a lot of money while still getting quality and a product that is completely tailored to your interior, you can make wooden furniture with your own hands. Almost anyone can make furniture at home; this does not require special equipment or special education. All you need to do is purchase the materials and be patient.
In addition, a handmade item is much more valuable, especially if it is furniture made of natural wood. Making wooden furniture with your own hands can be a wonderful and rewarding hobby.
Simple steps in assembling furniture
First of all, to create any product, you need to determine its shape, design and dimensions. Then the color, material, and accessories are selected. And taking into account all these points, furniture drawings are created. It is needed in order to eliminate the possibility of errors when assembling furniture made of natural wood, not to spoil the material and not to slow down the process. You can draw up drawings of cabinet furniture yourself or find ready-made options online.
It is worth remembering that drawing up furniture drawings is very important stage, so it is necessary to carefully calculate and think through everything.
Use of slab materials
The most common materials for self-made furniture are LDVP and laminated chipboard. They have reasonable price and are available for retail purchase. However, for beginners, producing individual parts can be a challenge.
If you have long dreamed of learning how to work with wood, you should not waste time. Get started today. After all, simple furniture and wooden crafts with your own hands (see drawings and photos) can be made without carpentry skills. There would be a desire.
Woodworking tools
For the manufacture of most products it is not at all necessary to purchase special equipment. In most cases you can get by standard set tool.
As a rule, you don’t need to buy special equipment to work with wood at home.
So, we will need:
To connect the parts you will need wood screws. To obtain a more durable connection, you will need screws or bolts with nuts. It's great if you have a circular saw in the garage.
In principle, for cutting a small number of parts it is enough bow saw. If you wish, you can contact any carpentry workshop and order blanks of the required size.
If you do not have a screwdriver, prepare small holes diameter is half that of the screws themselves. Screwing them in by hand will be much easier.
In the future, if working with wood interests you, for the manufacture of complex parts and round blanks can be purchased inexpensively lathe– it will cost 7-12 thousand rubles. If the house has an old electric motor, for example, from washing machine, it will not be difficult to make such a machine yourself.
You should not work with wood that has just been brought in from the cold. It should rest for a day.
Furniture
It is problematic to make complex types of furniture at home. But even a novice carpenter can make an ordinary stool, bench, shelf, bed and even a wooden cabinet using photos and drawings.
Stool
This type of furniture will always come in handy in a workshop, garage, kitchen or cottage. The stool can be stationary, folding, or have different lengths legs, seat shape, etc.
The design of the stool can be complicated by making it top part in the form of a box for storing small items. A folding step stool will definitely come in handy around the house. By lengthening the legs of a regular stool, you get a bar stool.
We will start work by making a simple product.
To make it we will need:
- bars for legs, drawers (bars under the seat) and prongs with a cross section of 35-50 mm
- several boards for making a seat or plywood; his standard size 350-430 mm
- self-tapping screws
- metal corners (crackers) to strengthen the structure, we will attach them under the seat
Let us describe the main stages of work:
1 Pay attention to the photo above. Assembling the stool is easy. The four legs of the stool are first connected using prongs and drawbars (bars located directly under the seat). Then the seat itself is attached.
2 The standard length of the legs is 45-50 cm. To make them, you can buy timber or cut a 200 mm board. This size is the most convenient - it will make 4 bars of 50 mm each.
3 We prepare several boards for sitting.
4 To make the structure stable, they are cut strictly at 90 degrees.
5 When cutting frames and legs, be sure to take into account the length of the tenons.
6 We first process each part with sandpaper No. 40-60, and then go over them twice with finer sandpaper.
7 Fastening the drawers and legs with self-tapping screws will be unreliable - the product will become loose. Rectangular tenons and grooves are used for connection. To do this, we mark their location. The width of the tenon is 1/3 of the thickness of the drawer or leg. Length – 80% of thickness.
8 We start the work by preparing the grooves - this will make it easier to fit the tenons. To obtain a groove in the leg, it is first better to drill several holes in a row with a drill. We select the rest of the wood manually with a chisel.
9 In the absence milling machine tenons are made using a rasp and a jigsaw.
10 We connect the legs of the stool in pairs (two each) with drawers and legs. If everything is correct, drop glue into the grooves and insert the blanks with spikes into them.
11 To glue the seat boards together, coat them on the sides and tighten the seat with a clamp.
12 After the glue has dried, we additionally strengthen the legs with drawers using metal corners.
13 We screw the seat to the legs and drawers with self-tapping screws. The stool is ready.
Wood glue dries for at least a day. When working in a cold garage, this time increases.
Bench
Making a bench or bench out of wood is even easier. This design is in many ways reminiscent of a stool. The only one new part– back. To attach it, a couple of bench legs will need to be lengthened.
1 The biggest difficulty is making the rear legs. Their upper part is made with a slight slope for ease of fastening the backrest. But since there are only two such parts, they can be cut without using special equipment using a regular bow saw.
2 If you don’t want to bother with cutting out complex workpieces, the rear legs can be made inclined. Just remember that to ensure stability, the bottom of the legs must be cut at the same angle.
3 For greater stability, it is better to place the legs not in the center, but in the lower part.
4 To strengthen the structure, as shown in the photo, they can be connected to each other with a cross bar.
Chair
Since making an ordinary chair with a backrest, in principle, differs little from assembling a stool and a bench, and you can handle it yourself, let’s complicate the task and make a folding chair out of wood.
1 It will not take up much space in the car, and you can always take it with you on a picnic or fishing trip.
2 To avoid making mistakes in your calculations, make a smaller-scale sample from cardboard. Measure each of the pieces. If the design is stable, you can begin manufacturing the product.
3 First we cook 2 wooden frames. At the top of one of them we screw a couple of slats that will serve as a backrest. At the bottom of the frame we fix the leg with self-tapping screws or a tongue-and-groove connection (we described it just above).
4 We make the second frame a little shorter. We also attach a leg to the bottom. At the top we attach 3-4 seat slats.
5 Since the chair legs will be inclined, their cutting angle will not be 90, as usual, but 45 degrees.
6 To obtain a strong connection, also fasten the seat and backrest not with self-tapping screws, but with a tongue-and-groove connection.
7 You can replace the back and seat with durable canvas stretched over the frame.
8 To prevent our chair from moving apart when unfolded, we install four restrictive pairs of bars under the seat. They won't let it fully develop.
9 If the back and seat are covered with tarpaulin, a narrow strip of fabric is pulled between the lower crosspieces. It will serve as a limiter and prevent the chair from folding.
10 Use a hacksaw to cut the axle bolts to length. We fix them on the legs of the chair closer to the seat. If you install them in the center of the legs, the structure will be less stable. We screw cap nuts onto the ends.
11 In order for the frame to close tightly, the nuts must be slightly recessed into the wood.
12 You can replace wood with plywood. Cutting even curved parts out of it with a jigsaw will not be difficult. Straight cuts are made with a regular hacksaw. The design of such a chair will be slightly different. To assemble it, grooves are cut into the plywood.
The simplest wooden shelf
Let's start making one more product - a wooden shelf. In the future, based on them, you will be able to manufacture more complex products.
1 After cutting the boards, their ends are sanded first with coarse and then fine sandpaper.
2 The product must be sanded and stained before finishing assembly. After all, even small joints are always clearly visible.
3 It is better to stain perfectly sanded wood - on a dark surface any scratches and chips will be obvious.
4 There is stain on sale different shades: under dark or light oak, walnut, cherry, hazelnut, etc. Remember that after drying it becomes a little lighter. As new layers are applied, the wood becomes darker. Do not apply more than two layers, otherwise the surface will become spotty.
5 Due to the orientation of the fibers, the ends always look darker after staining. To reduce absorption, it is better to pre-prime them.
6 Its drying time is about 12 hours. Then the product is coated with varnish on top.
7 After the workpieces have completely dried, we make markings on the sides of the future shelf for attaching horizontally located planks.
8 If you don’t have a screwdriver, drill small holes for fasteners. Their diameter should be double less than diameter self-tapping screws
9 Initially, you should not screw them in too tightly. We do this only after checking the correct assembly.
10 We close the fastening points of the screws with plugs to match the color of our wood. They can be purchased at any furniture store.
11 Using the same principle, you can make a shoe rack out of wood (photos and drawings can be found on the Internet). Its back wall is covered with plywood, screwed to the ends of the shelf with self-tapping screws.
12 If it is necessary to make jumpers in the product, they are fastened to the horizontal shelves using round wooden tenons (dowels) inserted into pre-prepared holes, or self-tapping screws. To attach the board, 1-2 tenons are enough, which are pre-coated with glue.
13 To hang a small shelf weighing 3-5 kg, purchase mounting loops and a 6x30 self-tapping dowel. Heavy structures are secured using metal anchors in the shape of the letter “L”.
14 Teach that you screw shelves to plasterboard wall in the usual way will not work. They are attached only through embedded beams, which are sewn into the wall in advance.
Do not overdo it with glue - it is applied in a thin layer in drops or a thin stream. When it dries a little, remove the excess. It is more convenient to do this with a clean paint scraper.
Table
Garden table
Having built a table from wood, you can install it in the kitchen, bathhouse or garden house.
1 The length of the tabletop depends on the number of seats. 50-60 cm is enough for one person.
2 Standard table height is 165 cm.
3 First, a base is made - a frame consisting of legs and drawers - connecting elements for fastening the table top and legs.
4 According to the standards, only tenon joints. However, even furniture factories last years They use less durable connections in the form of dowels (inserted cylindrical rods, popularly called choppiks) and self-tapping screws. If you don’t want to bother with cutting out tenons, be sure to reinforce the corners of the table with “crackers” - metal or wooden fasteners.
5 But still, a more durable connection for the legs and sides are tenons with semi-darkness, when part of the tenon in the upper part is cut out in half. They must be put on glue.
6 The tabletop is assembled from boards, paying attention to the direction of the grain, so that when the wood dries there are no problems with distortion. Pay attention to the texture of the boards. With a successful combination of wood patterns, the product will turn out to be more original, and the joints will be less noticeable.
7 The tabletop boards are connected to each other with dowels and dowels (wooden choppers). To do this, 8-12 mm holes are prepared at the ends. You need to drop a little glue into them, carefully spread it with a wooden splinter and insert a dowel inside. The finished tabletop is pulled together tightly and left until completely dry.
Design garden table may be slightly different. To strengthen it, its legs are tightened with transverse bars, as shown in the diagram below.
It will be a great disappointment if, during assembly, the prepared parts do not fit perfectly together. Always check any connection immediately.
Hallway
Cabinet furniture is more difficult to manufacture. Let's start learning how to assemble it from wood in the hallway. It can be made from furniture panels left over from old furniture, tongue and groove boards, chipboard or plywood.
Hallway furniture option
You also need to stock up on accessories. Depending on the design we may need door hinges, ties, metal rods for hanging hangers, etc.
1 The design of the hallway can be any. Below we have provided only one of the possible drawings. If desired, you can find a variety of configurations on the network.
2 The simplest ties used to assemble the case are metal corners and screws. Each side will need 3-4 fasteners.
3 More expensive, but also the most durable fasteners are special furniture ties, for example, extra-strength. It is completely recessed into the wood and does not cling to stored items.
4 When cutting out the body parts, do not forget to file the corners at the bottom for the baseboards.
5 The back wall of plywood, adjacent to the wall, is fastened with an overlay or a quarter with ordinary screws. The latter method gives a stronger connection.
6 Use shelf holders to install shelves. The simplest of these is a metal or plastic pin.
7 Hang doors on any type of hinges. First, markings are made through the holes with a pencil. To prevent the door from quickly becoming loose, step back at least 10 cm from the top and bottom. For heavy doors, it is better to use not 2, but 3-4 hinges.
8 To prevent the pencil graphite from being erased, after checking the correctness of the connection, mark the locations of future holes with a nail or awl.
9 Be sure to check that the hinges are not at the level of the shelves - they will not allow the door to close completely.
10 After hanging the sash, it will need to be adjusted.
Bed
Drawings for a wooden bed to assemble are not that complicated. We will only describe its principles.
1 In order not to be mistaken with the size of the sleeping bed, before you start assembling the bed, purchase a mattress.
2 You should not make the frame end-to-end. After all, the mattress slightly “creeps” along the sides over time. Therefore, add 1 cm to the frame on each side.
3 To make the case you will need old furniture panels or planed boards. Better to use more durable wood coniferous species.
4 First, the frame is assembled using metal corners or special furniture ties and self-tapping screws.
5 To lay the mattress, it is necessary to install several jumpers made of strong boards across the frame. After assembling the frame, 12 mm thick plywood is laid on them.
6 Another option for attaching a mattress is wooden pads at the bottom of the frame, on which transverse slats are laid.
7 If desired, you can make a “P” shaped storage box at the headboard with a hinged top lid.
There are many options for making a bed.
Crafts for the garden
Buy for summer cottage Expensive products don't always make sense. It is much easier to assemble a table, chairs, benches and benches from old furniture or planed boards left over after construction. From them you can build a swing, a gazebo, and from waste wooden material- birdhouse.
1 Its width is always standard - 10-12 cm. The height is selected depending on the type of birds that you want to attract to your site. So, for starlings a house with a height of 60 cm is required, but for tits, flycatchers, and redstarts it should be low - up to 26 cm.
2 Woodpeckers will need a dwelling in the form of a triangle. The birdhouse for wagtails is always laid on its side and a ladder is attached to it. The flycatcher requires a birdhouse with a hole in the form of a slit, and robins need a house with a slightly open front wall.
3 To make a birdhouse, only wood is used. After all internal sides their homes and facades should be rough. By smooth surface It will be difficult for the chicks to get out. For the same reason, the house is never painted or varnished. If you don’t have a plank at hand, you can use a planed board on which notches are applied manually.
4 Never use coniferous wood to create a home for birds. Wings smeared with resin mean certain death for birds.
5 A draft is dangerous for chicks, so saw the boards at 90 degrees so that no gaps form when joining them. The birdhouse is never glued together, but only knocked down with nails or twisted with self-tapping screws. After all, the glue will scare away sensitive birds. For the same reason, you should not use chipboard or plywood to build a house.
6 To make the bird house easy to clean, provide a removable lid. It is better to fill it with a blank equal to internal dimensions birdhouse. Such a tight lid will never be blown off by the wind.
7 You can also hang the lid on regular hinges. In this case, be sure to provide a hook or latch.
Swing with hanging bench
For the posts and crossbar of the swing, use durable ones. wooden beams cross section from 100 mm.
We will also need:
- board for making a seat from 3 cm thick
- metal chains or thick rope
- several carabiners for hanging it; they can be replaced with bolts and studs
- sand and cement for pouring pillars into the ground
- metal corners and screws
On concrete surface You should not install a swing - because if you fall, the likelihood of injury will be very high. Choose a place for them on the lawn or soft sand.
Make sure that there are no protruding fittings, large stones or tree branches nearby.
1 The height of a children's swing is from 2 m. If adults will also use them, increase it to 3.5 m or slightly higher.
2 The swing support can be U- or A-shaped. In the latter case, the pillars will not need to be buried in the ground.
3 When connecting beams at an angle in the shape of the letter “A,” provide a crossbar between them. She's being pulled down metal corners and screws. For fastening, cuts are made in the timber into which studs are installed.
4 Do not over-tighten the fasteners. Adjust the support first building level, and only then screw the screws in completely.
5 According to GOST, the frame should be half a meter wider than the seat. Its size is selected at your own discretion. The seat can be made with or without a backrest. With a length of 50 cm or more, adults can also use the swing.
6 After cutting the parts, be sure to sand the planed boards.
7 When installing supports for U-shaped swing process bottom part pillars with bitumen and wrap with roofing felt. This way you will protect the tree from premature rotting. Cover the remaining wooden parts of the swing with antiseptic, drying oil, varnish or paint.
8 The supports are buried 1 m into the ground and must be filled cement-sand mortar. To protect against underground moisture and frost heaving, fill the bottom of the pit with 20-30 cm of crushed stone. It is necessary to hang the swing only after the cement has gained strength - no earlier than in a week.
9 It is better to use eye bolts to attach chains or ropes. They are very durable and provide a large swing amplitude. To install them, a wooden crossbar is drilled through in 2 places.
10 For a narrow seat, 2 fastenings on both sides are sufficient. For a wide seat you will need 4 of them.
11 If it is small, you can do without carabiners by stepping back a few centimeters from the edges and making a couple of holes in the wood to insert a chain or rope.
Wood is an excellent material for designing and creating exclusive furniture, vibrant and incredibly cozy, attractive and durable, ergonomic and practical. And even the rapid development of scientific and technological progress, as well as the appearance on the market of new technologies and innovative materials, did not make natural wood valuable breeds are less popular and in demand among admirers of natural beauty and style.
Manufacturing of interior items from wood. Advantages
The advantages of natural furniture are difficult to overestimate: and the point here is not only the aesthetic component, but also the high performance qualities due to which wood has long been used for construction purposes and for manufacturing unique items interior
You can order high-quality wooden furniture on the website http://look-wood.ru/
The main advantages include:
- Environmentally friendly. When used, wood does not emit substances harmful to health or polluting the air. Rather, on the contrary: in environment natural resins are released and essential oils, having a beneficial effect on the body, and phytoncides known for their bactericidal properties. The special energy of living nature in your home;
- Exceptional strength, high resistance to mechanical damage and durability of use. High-quality wooden furniture can outlive any person: its minimum service life is 50 years, and repair of interior items is carried out easily and quickly;
- Comfort. Interior items made from wood according to all the rules are ergonomic and take into account body features;
- Variety of stylistic and design solutions, textured and all kinds.
- Visual appeal and presentability. This is where the process of choosing wooden furniture begins. Refined and non-trivial finishing, original decorative accessories (inlays or) attract the attention of consumers, and the process of selecting objects for a particular setting is always interesting and unique.

To make wooden furniture with your own hands, two types of wood panels are usually used:
- Solid, made from a single piece of wood and processed using a special method;
- or glued, obtained by joining and further pressing thin panels. The result is a more durable and reliable material for making wooden furniture with your own hands.
Wood species
On modern stage Man knows more than 40 tree species that can be classified as hard and soft wood.
Hard rocks
Rowan, oak, beech, elm, apple, ash, acacia, yew, dogwood and sycamore are classified as hard woods that are used for the construction of furniture frames and load-bearing structures designed for serious, daily loads.
Soft breeds
Professionals classify cherry, pine, willow, cedar, alder, poplar, aspen, fir and juniper as soft varieties of wood, from which one can obtain unique decorative elements and original facades that are not designed for high loads.
Let us dwell in more detail on those types of wood from which the lion's share of traditional pieces of furniture in every home is made.
When making wooden furniture with your own hands, not only its functional purpose, but also special operating conditions, which establish the basic requirements for the breed natural massif. For example, for bathrooms, saunas and other rooms with high humidity Hanging cabinets and other pieces of furniture are best made from moisture-resistant wood, such as cedar.
To create wooden furniture with your own hands, traditionally they use birch, pine, oak, larch, cherry, cedar, poplar, maple, ash and linden. Amazingly beautiful and exclusive furniture will be made from mahogany, wenge, meranti, makore, which have a unique natural texture and noble color scheme.
Pine being soft rock wood, has low impact resistance and is used for the most part for the manufacture of decorative elements self made, miniature cabinets and neat shelves, as well as a frame for upholstered furniture.

Beech, the strength of which can be compared with the strength of oak, has low water- and moisture-repellent properties, which is still not very good for wooden furniture. Therefore, before use, the wood is treated with a special protective composition, and the product itself is not used in rooms with high level humidity.
Oak considered basic natural raw materials for the production of most bulky and massive furniture accessories: wardrobes, chests of drawers, beds. And all thanks to the unique quality and operational characteristics oak material:
- ease of processing;
- excellent moisture resistance;
- no rotting or destruction of furniture by insects;
- resistance to mechanical stress;
- durability.
Birch– extremely beautiful and capricious tree species, which, unfortunately, cannot be classified as durable, impact- and moisture-resistant material. Therefore, birch is quite suitable for making elegant coffee tables, chairs and dining tables.

Making wooden furniture with your own hands
Having a small home workshop and purchasing high-quality and reliable fittings, you can design and assemble any furniture: from basic decorative elements to complex projects, the successful implementation of which will require some skills, patience and accuracy from you.
The main stages of making wooden furniture with your own hands involve performing the following work:
- Markup and ;
- Processing of individual parts;
- Making holes for reliable connection of parts;
- Painting with paints and varnishes;
- Varnishing;
- Furniture assembly.
Wooden furniture can have 2 types of connection: detachable and permanent. The design includes linear, planar and volumetric elements. Flat elements are special panels made of bars or slats. Adhesive structures with permanent connections are used to make table tops, door leaves and other household items.
Natural wood does not need any special recommendations. The beauty of natural wood and its beneficial effects on humans has been known for a long time. Wooden furniture is still not a rare guest in city apartments, country houses, at the dachas. Domestic furniture industry uses wood of various valuable species (mahogany, oak, beech, birch). Furniture made of cherry or walnut can be found from an imported manufacturer.
Handmade pine furniture deserves special rave reviews. Pine is beautifully processed. The annual rings have an original design. The contrasting alternation of light and dark rings is more fully manifested after treating the wood with special protective and colorless tinting impregnations.
Natural tone pine wood– amber, light with a slight yellowness. In nature you can also find darker shades, such as golden terracotta or rich honey. This wood literally absorbed the warmth of the sun. Sunny pine furniture generously transfers this warmth to people, refreshes the interior, and lifts the mood.
Strength combined with the extraordinary lightness of pine wood will be appreciated by families who are arranging a children's room, wanting to make it as comfortable as possible. Solid pine furniture is comfortable and multifunctional. It does not burden the interior. And it will serve its owners for many years.
The durability of this furniture has been tested for centuries. Modern manufacturers have many methods and materials for special wood processing, thereby further extending the life of pine products.
The advantages of pine furniture are its relative moisture resistance. Due to the fact that wood contains resinous substances, it has a certain protective barrier. This allows it to resist moisture and be resistant to fungus and mold. This is very important when making kitchen furniture. Contact with water in the kitchen is inevitable.
Solid pine does not pose any threat to human health. Pine is an environmentally friendly tree. Pine products create a healthy indoor microclimate. The coniferous, resinous aroma characteristic of pine wood saturates the surrounding air with phytoncides (other essential substances). Impact on human body unique pine aromas. They simultaneously give strength (invigorate) and calm.
Pine doesn't count valuable breed. It is “soft”, plastic and pliable. A master cabinetmaker gives wood products amazing shapes. His hands bring to life any wish of the customer. Furniture can be strict (monumental) or elegant (intricate) and with carved fancy ornaments.
And you can make simple, no-frills furniture yourself. There is a lot of professional information: in books, on websites on the Internet. WITH detailed instructions, photographs, master classes, drawings, technologies and ideas from masters. All that remains is to decide what needs to be made, to make templates for all the parts.
Modern market building materials and tools provides a variety of boards, bars, various in size and necessary tools for their processing. It is not difficult to make a table, stool, benches, chair and many other small-shaped furniture necessary for convenience and aesthetics with your own hands.
Wooden furniture has always been popular and was considered more prestigious than furniture made from wood boards. And furniture made from pine with your own hands looks even more attractive to its owner, since he put a piece of his soul into it.
Over time, pine products do not lose their value. On the contrary, than older furniture, those more interesting shade, a shade of noble antiquity.
Also see how you can do it modular furniture from pine with your own hands:
Many craftsmen and hobbyists prefer to make furniture from wood. What is the secret of the popularity of this material? A skilled person with some knowledge and a set of tools can easily make original interior items from slabs or timber that will decorate any home, cottage or gazebo. Natural materials look appropriate here. It is important to follow the rules for creating products.

Traditionally, wood panels made from solid wood or glued together are used. They are obtained by pressing thin sheets between themselves.
Panels are convenient for making cabinets, kitchen corners, shelves, tables and other large items, as they allow you to cut out large parts.
You can also use less familiar options for the setting. For example, making interior elements from slabs, slats and boards. This will emphasize the originality of the furniture tandem. For example, benches made of timber are ideal for a garden gazebo.
Wood species
Wood is divided into hard and soft. The first category includes oak, beech, apple, elm, sycamore - they are used to make bearing structures, frames and other elements experiencing heavy loads.
Willow, pine, cedar, poplar, alder and other soft wood produce finishing elements and ornaments that have beautiful texture. This type is easy to process, plastic, and is used to make facades, shelves and other parts that are not designed for high loads.
A few ideas
Where to put the manufactured furniture? First of all, it is placed in a country house, less often in apartments. In the second case, it is appropriate to use less coarse materials, for example, willow, grapevine, rattan.
The peculiarity of wicker furniture is convenience and comfort.

Selecting raw materials
In order for furniture to last a long time, it is necessary to use high-quality materials.
Certainly, perfect option– independently trace all stages from the log house to the sale. Unfortunately this is not possible. We offer a number of proven methods that will help determine the quality of wood:
- a small number of knots indicates the quality of the material;
- first or zero category of raw materials – best indicator for further manipulations;
- the density of growth rings is equal to the strength of the board, which is especially important for conifers;
- Proper drying is the key to the durability of furniture.
Wooden slats are an excellent material for making a combined trio.
Wood with parallel annual layers is stronger. It does not warp, does not crack, and has a long service life.
It is convenient to make both simple and complex elements from it. Material affected by fungus is not suitable for production.
Problems will be visible on the cut. If their color is uneven or bright, then you should not take such boards.
When combining several species in one product, it is worth considering their structure. If it is similar, then drying will occur evenly.
