FAQ
How long does it take to finish a piece of furniture?
It all depends upon the size of your piece of furniture. Smaller projects like boxes and picture frames can be finished within one day. Larger projects, like desks or dining tables require several days. It takes time to stain and seal the wood properly.
What type of wood should I choose?
Oak, maple, cherry and mahogany are the most common wood types used for woodworking. Each type of wood has its own unique characteristics that can affect the final product's appearance. Oak, for instance, is darker and harder than most other woods. Birch, which is lighter and soft, is more heavy than mahogany. You can also pick between veneers and solid wood. Veneers consist of thin sheets made from wood and glued together to form a single layer.

How To
How can you accurately measure wood?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
