The Advantages 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.

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.

Handcrafted solid timber fittings require minimal energy in making them. Manufactured fittings require a lot of energy from either coal, nuclear or natural gas to produce. This is a very important benefit because the amount of energy required making handcrafted furnishings is very minimal and friendly to the environment. It does not involve emission of any harmful gases to the environment.

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.
