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.

Solid handcrafted lumber fittings are cheaper than manufactured fittings in the long run. The cost of often replacement of fixtures because of wearing-off ends up outwitting the cost of obtaining handcrafted fixtures which are more costly to buy. Furnishings made of solid wood are lifetime investments that are among the valuable items people value the most because they are very cheap to maintain.

Handcrafted furnishings can be customized to fit into client's preference and tastes. This is an important benefit because a client gets what they want and they do not worry about finding the same type of furnishings elsewhere as they are unique. Industrially manufactured furnishings are always the same and there is a high probability of finding the same type elsewhere only differentiated by color or pattern.

Handcrafted fittings are eco-friendly. The fact that they are made to last, they reduce instances of pilling up cheap stuff that has already worn out to peoples' landfill, unlike manufactured fittings. When solid timber furnishings wear out, timber used in making them can be recycled to serve other purposes but manufactured furnishings are a waste when they wear out and cannot be reused again.

Distribution and cycle of money within a society is essential in its development. Use of handcrafted solid timber furnishes ensures that money is distributed within the society through buying furnishes from local artisans. This is considered as a kind gesture in supporting local industries and the community at large and a key issue in societal development. The cost of transporting furniture to the clients' homes is also reduced greatly.

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.
