Find Hardwood Lumber In Your Hometown

If you are embarking on a home improvement project there is a good chance that it will involve hardwood lumber. Hardwood can help you make furniture or beautiful flooring. You may need to learn about lumber types and lumber suppliers in your area before you begin. Hardwood is very durable and can help you create something of lasting beauty. Read on to learn about different types of hardwood and their unique properties.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

If you want something with a dark and rich tone than you should go for walnut. This is a very unique look in wood and will give you a tight grain that is very pretty. It is also durable so you know it will last for ages. Many antique furniture was made out of walnut and even musical instruments like violins or other wooden instruments are made out of this beautiful wood. It can also handle an excellent quality veneer.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

If you want a common choice for all kinds of good then try oak. Oak is soft looking and can work for many types of flooring or furniture. You will often find this as a cabinet in a kitchen. If you are worried about price then oak may not be the right choice for you. It can be very pricey compared to other hard woods.

If you want something a bit cheaper than either oak or walnut, try yellow poplar. This is found in the east coast of the US and is a good quality wood. It can be used to make man different things such as instruments, chairs, tables, and even sporting equipment. You can work it easily at home if that is something you are interested in doing.

If you want another versatile wood product than try beech. This is grown in the east and west coast of the US and in several other countries. You can use this for all kinds of items and it takes a stain very well.

If you want to get something even cheaper then try a hardwood plywood. This looks like hardwood, but it is a lot cheaper. Since it has a veneer glued on it is strong as well. You can use this for lots of things, bookcases are popular.

If you want to buy hardwood lumber than try a local store. You can find most types locally, but may have to order certain types of wood, depending on where you live. You may want to add on the extra delivery cost to your total price if you are trying to stay on a budget. You can also find some suppliers online if you want to try to find the best deals for your money. Remember that shipping may be costly when ordering online.

How to Avoid Tear Out When Cutting Plywood

Cutting Plywood

Oak Veneer Bookcase

No matter what kind of woodworking you do, at some point you're going to be using plywood. Whether you're building cabinets and using commercially available plywood, make your own veneer, or buy veneer to apply to a plywood substrate, sooner or later you're going to have to deal with cutting plywood.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

The biggest problem woodworkers have with cutting plywood, especially when cross-cutting, is that the veneer often splinters out along the cut line. So much for that expensive piece of veneer!

Here are some ways to avoid this:

Let's first look at the tools used to cut plywood, both for cross cutting and ripping. Large 4 x 8 sheets of plywood are most often ripped using the table saw. When ripping or cross cutting on the table saw the good side should always be facing up. This action alone will prevent the majority of splintering on the good side. To be sure of this though, two things should be done to your table saw. First, you need to be using a sharp 40 tooth combination blade, (my favorite is the Forrest Woodworker II) or a high alternate bevel grind blade, a specialty blade designed to cut melamine and veneered wood without splintering. Second, your table saw needs to be tuned up. By this I mean that the blade needs to be parallel to the fence. On the side facing up, if you're only getting tear out on one side of the blade, this is probably the problem. If you're getting tear out on both sides of the blade, your blade is wobbling due to being bent, or the arbor isn't running true. It helps to have a dial indicator to tune up your table saw.

For cross cutting large sheets of plywood, more times than not, I will use a circular saw. If you think of the circular saw as a upside down table saw, it will make sense to make sure you cut with the good side facing down.

Here's four tips for using a circular saw to get a clean cross cut on plywood:

1) The same blade considerations we talking about for the table saw apply to the circular saw.

2) Score the plywood first by setting the height of the blade just deep enough to score the top veneer. Then go back and cutting all the through. This method works very well if you use a fence so you can make the exact same cut twice. Free handing a cut like this won't work.

3) A method I like to use to help prevent splintering on the bottom side when using a circular saw is to use a backer board. Use a sacrificial sheet of cheap MDF underneath your plywood. Lower the blade to just cut below the thickness of the plywood. The MDF will support the fibers of the veneer, keeping them from tearing out.

4) Another trick is to use a strip of painters tape or masking tape along the cut line. The tape acts like the back board in the previous method. A work of caution here. Don't use tape that is real sticky, it will end up pealing up the wood fibers underneath, exactly what you were trying to avoid. Which ever type tape you use, be sure you remove it as soon as the cut has been made to prevent it from melting to the plywood from the heat of the blade.

The Most Common Woods Used For Woodworking

You might have some questioning concerning the kind of wood you should be using to build your woodworking project. There are different aspects to consider before deciding on a specific type of wood such as: your personal style, the ambiance you would like to create, and your current finances. Following is a list of the most favored woods used to build wooden furniture.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

Pine

Oak Veneer Bookcase

Pine wood is definitely the most popular wood used with regard to cost effective furniture. Woodworkers like it because of its light shade and natural texture and because it is cheaper compared to other kinds of woods. Pine is very flexible, soft, and easy to work with. Use it to build bookcases and shelves, bed frames and cradles, tables and chairs, storage units, chests, and numerous other pieces made for daily use. Even though pine does not last as long as harder woods, it is frequently used to provide a traditional look to any area. Pine can be stained, left natural, or painted after sanding.

Oak

Oak is another common choice for furniture building. It has great strength and hardness and is prized in the construction of fine furniture, flooring and for veneer production. You will find two standard kinds of oak wood: red and white. Oak wood home furniture is long lasting which makes it the ideal choice for kid bedrooms, flooring, and various areas of the house. Additionally, it is reasonably priced.

Walnut

Walnut is a hard, dense, tight grained and resilient type of wood. It can be polished to a smooth finish and it holds a stain pretty well. It is a highly prized wood by cabinet, musical instrument, and gun makers. It can be cut into thin slices for veneers. Walnut wood is often used to make small pieces like bowls or candle holders simply because it reacts very well to wood turning. Its cost makes it interesting to cost-conscious customers. Because walnut wood can cause allergies and asthma, anyone working with this kind of wood is advised to always wear gloves and a dust mask.

Mahogany

Mahogany is famous for its distinctive pink coloring, which evolves into a deep red-brownish as the wood grows older. This type of wood is among the most valuable wood varieties in the world. This wood offers very few knots or voids which grants the wood a gentle, even grain appearance that is ideally suited for fine wood furnishings and wood craft. The mahogany wood tree grows very large which allows the manufacturing of large and continuous boards. Woodworkers will use this type of wood to build tables, desks, and other furniture without joints. It is also easy to work with, is strong and durable, easy to sand, creates clean cuts and is easy to turn on a wood lathe. Unfortunately, it is highly priced but considering that mahogany furniture can last a lifetime, it is well worth the expense.

Given that you have found out about the most common choices in wood furniture, you are ready to choose new furniture or to build it yourself. Select a wood that matches your price range and style. Do not forget to get high quality woodworking plans for any woodworking project you might want to construct.

The Joy of Woodworking

There it was. A beautiful cabinet that stood tall and deep with a beautiful wood grain finish that was as smooth as glass to the touch. Large deep shelves made up the bulk of the cabinet. Inlaid panel doors enclosed a velvet lined storage area near the bottom and a scrolled façade crowned the top. It was a beauty to behold and I experienced a great deal of satisfaction and pride having planned and created my first wood piece.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

I was just seventeen when I built that cabinet. I remember the feeling of satisfaction like it was yesterday. There is a certain feeling that nothing else can match when you create something beautiful out of a chunk of wood. With a wide variety of species, wood lends itself to a countless number of uses that is enjoyed by both beginning and advanced woodworkers. Woodworking is a relatively inexpensive and ready source of material that instills pride and a sense of accomplishment to the woodworker as he or she creates and finishes a given project. Woodworking can also be a therapeutic source of relief after a stressful days work. Few things in life offer the satisfaction of woodworking!

Oak Veneer Bookcase

A Brief History of Woodworking

Woodworking as a craft can be traced back as far as the Egyptian and Chinese civilizations. Ancient Egyptians created pieces of furniture from wood and these have been found preserved in tombs. Mortise and tendon joints are attested as early as 3100 BC. Ancient Chinese furniture is famous for its intricate glueless and nailless joinery. Later in the New Kingdom period, 16th to 11th century BC, animal glue came to be used.

Throughout the years as human skills developed and with advancements in techniques and design, woodworking became works of art. Skills such as parquetry, marquetry and wood carving became part of the beautiful concepts in the art of woodworking. Today with advancements in tools, materials and the availability of easy-to-follow plans, anyone can experience the satisfaction and joy of woodworking!

Wood Types

Time and space for this article does not allow for an in-depth discussion of the best wood types to be used; however most woodworking projects fall into three different categories; softwoods, hardwoods and plywood, the latter being manufactured panels. Most beginning woodworkers start out using softwoods. The more common softwoods come from trees that are cone-bearing, such as evergreens. Softwood such as pine and spruce are easy to work with and don't require expensive tools to obtain a good result. Most softwood tends to absorb moisture when left in the outside weather, so a durable finish should be used when creating outdoor projects.

Hardwood comes from trees that shed their foliage annually. The more common hardwoods are cherry, oak, poplar, walnut, maple, ash and birch. Stains and clear finish coatings accentuate the grain patterns of hardwoods better than softwood, thereby making hardwood a desired material for high quality furniture and smaller pieces of art. Cutting and working with hardwoods require more expensive and very sharp tools.

Plywood is made from uneven layers of wood laminated together or a type of manufactured sheet. Plywood can be purchased with a thin finished layer of hardwood called 'veneers' and are great for cabinet or large pieces requiring flat surfaces. Advancements in manufacturing and technology have allowed for the production of 'man-made' wood materials; however for the purpose of this article we prefer to stick with nature's wood.

Working with Nature's Wood

Most wood that is available for purchasing today has already been dried and ready for woodworking. Freshly cut wood needs to 'season' for a minimum of six months in a specially prepared dry environment, so for this article we will address working with wood that has already been properly dried.

Choosing the right wood for your project is critical to the look of the finished product. For the sake of argument, we are assuming you want your finished project to show off the natural grain of the wood. A great source for previewing different wood species before you make your final selection can be found at Woodworker's Central.com. Woodworker's Central has an online directory exhibiting some of the world's most popular woods with a full-sized photo for each species.

Smoothing wood prior to applying finish coatings is best done by sanding. Sandpaper is available in grit sizes. Sandpaper with a larger grit is best for removing rough or dented areas, while paper with a smaller or finer grit works well to get a final smooth surface. Generally the harder the wood species, the more sanding that will be required. For projects that require a lot of sanding, there are many different power tools from which to choose.

For a natural look to the final finish, a clear coat of varnish should be applied using a soft brush. A deeper rich finish can be accomplished by applying several thin coats of varnish. Each coat should be allowed to dry before applying the next. Sanding between each coat with a fine grit sanding paper will help bring out the luster of the final finish. Commercial stains are also available for adding color and bringing out the natural grain of the wood. Stain should be applied in even coats. Deeper color can be achieved with multiple coats, however each coat should be allowed time to soak into the grain. Once the desire color is achieved, a final clear hard coat of varnish, lacquer or shellac can be applied to preserve the finish.

Just Do It!

While we have just touched on the basics of woodworking, the best way to get started in this fun and rewarding craft is to just do it! Start with a simple project, find an easy to follow plan, and get started. Welcome to the wonderful world of woodworking!

An Innovative Design For a Corner Desk by a Unique Company

It is interesting how, just when a market becomes stagnant, someone comes along to freshen it up. So it is true with a corner desk. All corner desks were starting to look familiar: either a tall space saving tower style, or a lower sprawling style with two work surfaces and a hutch. After all, what else can you do? Then I came across Legare, office furniture with not only a unique style, but also a leading edge, eco-friendly company, and with innovative assembly.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

First, not only is the furniture unique, but how the company got started is unique. It all began in 1999 in a new, start-up internet company. Buying office furniture on a shoe string budget was out of the question, so one of the founders, Brock Brandenberg, decided to design his own. He questioned the people in the office to know what they wanted in a good office desk, and went to work from there. Some of the requirements included a wrap around corner desk with a work surface that you could place both arms on, shelves, holes for computer cables, modesty panels along the bottom, it should be modular and good looking.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

Within a few months, his new desks were ready, and the employees had a desk assembling party. His design was so well received at the office, and so complimented by everyone who came by, that he knew he had something that could be marketed to others. Though there have been some small changes, the furniture they manufacture today follows the same design principles as the original.

Most office furniture today falls in the RTA market, meaning ready to assemble, including all hardware and everything else you need. But, Legare makes FTA, Fun to Assemble, furniture. There is no hardware of any kind, a corner desk or any other piece of their furniture uses a patented locking design making assembly fun, fast and simple. You may worry about the pieces coming apart, but they won't, not until you take them apart, plus they are very strong. They are also reverse configured so that they can be assembled left or right handed, or what if you get a bad scratch on the surface? Just flip that piece over and assemble the other way.

Besides a real nice corner desk, Legare also makes straight desks, desk extenders, bookcases, media centers, file carts, small tables, and accessory shelves that either go on top of the desk or can hook into slots on the side of a desk. Both desk styles have small shelves under them as part of their design.

Legare has two primary furniture lines: Legare Sustainable and Legare Select.

Legare Sustainable is made from natural bamboo that is only sourced from GSC Certified mills, and use bamboo plywood because it is the most efficient use of the bamboo stalks.

Legare Select is their more affordable furniture made out of ash and oak veneers, and besides carrying everything mentioned above, it also includes a colorful line of children's furniture.

One of my favorite things about a Legare straight or corner desk is its stylish, smooth, curved lines that are created, I believe naturally, with its tab and slot assembly design. It is just different enough to make it really stand out from other office furniture. So if you are in the market for a new corner desk, this is one brand you definitely want to check out before buying.

Wood furniture is known for it's intricate carvings and cultural glory. The wood furniture comes in traditional, contemporary, modern or ordinary styles. This is known for it's beauty and elegance. The room furnished in wood, gives a welcoming and warm look.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

There are two different varieties of wood. They are hardwood and softwood. Wood that is obtained from trees that are broad-leaved is called hardwood. Where as on the other hand, wood that is obtained from coniferous trees is called softwood. Usually, softwood is of less density and hardness than hardwood. But there is lot of variation in the density and hardness of both woods with considerable overlap. Soft woods are far less resistant to decay when compared to hardwoods when used in outdoor applications but generally, softwoods are easy to work with.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

Some of the wood types under these two woods are :

Hardwood : Alder, Birch, Hackberry, Ash, Maple, Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Sheesham, Teak, Mahogany, Rosewood, and more.

Softwood : Pine, Fir, Hemlock, Spruce, Redwood, Cedar, Douglas-Fir, Cypress, Red Cedar, Kaya, Sugi, Larch, and more.

The richness and shine that we see on the colors of the wood furniture are obtained by different types of finishes that are given to make the wood surface smooth. Finishing is necessary for wood furniture as the unfinished wood succumbs to moisture leading to continuous contraction and expansion of the wood. By wood finishing the wood receives an elegant and attractive look.

The different finishes that are obtained on the wood are : paint, wax, oil, shellac, polyurethane, lamination, veneer, lacquer, varnish, and finishes that are water-based.

Bunk beds for kids come in so many fun styles it's hard to make up your mind. You can get beds that look like a fairy princess castle or a dollhouse, all done up in pastel pinks and purples, perfect for a young girl's dream escape. Some of these are so elaborate that you can't see the top bunk behind the facade of the castle. The little nooks, crannies and windows of the dollhouse can also be used for storage and to display special treasures. Some have a sort of tower front which also serves as a bookcase. The window of the castle allows the sleeper on top to look out.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

Another fun concept has a tent on the lower side and a slide to get down from the top. These come in bright primary colors or, for the child of an outdoors enthusiast, full camouflage. The bottom area is completely covered in camouflage and the attached tent has a zip open door and screened in windows with flaps that roll up. A matching chest completes the theme.

Oak Veneer Bookcase

Bunk beds for kids can also look like race cars or woodsy forts. Besides the common ladder to climb to the top, there are some which have actual stairs to the top beside and above a built-in dresser.

Some bunk beds for kids come set up for three, with two sleeping areas on top, and one bunk and a desk setup on the bottom.

Loft-type bunk beds for kids, with a desk area or storage underneath, are available in a wide variety of materials. Some are whimsical and juvenile, but some are solid, massive pieces of furniture that would look almost as at home in your living room as in your kid's room. There is a solid wood computer desk which looks like a combination of an entertainment center and a dresser. It has 7 drawers and a door on the side behind the shelving area. It has a bed on top and a trundle on the bottom that pulls out for sleeping. The door, drawers, and bottom trundle all have matching door pulls, so the trundle looks like a big drawer when it is closed. The area underneath the computer has a keyboard tray that pulls out for use while the bed is tucked away.

Bunk beds for kids come in a variety of materials and all price ranges. You can buy a bed that is sleek and austere metal or you can go for the fully painted cottage version with every detail including flowerpots and shutters.
