FAQ
What woods are suitable for making furniture?
Woods are classified according their hardness. Softwoods are pine, cedar and cypress. They're often used for outdoor furniture because they don't rot easily. The hardwoods are oak, maple and mahogany. They can't withstand the elements outside so they're best kept indoors.
What time does it take for furniture to be finished?
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 such as tables and desks can take several days to complete. It takes time to stain and seal the wood properly.

Statistics
- If your lumber isn't as dry as you would like when you purchase it (over 22% in Glen Huey's opinion…probably over 10-15% in my opinion), then it's a good idea to let it acclimate to your workshop for a couple of weeks. (woodandshop.com)
- Most woodworkers agree that lumber moisture needs to be under 10% for building furniture. (woodandshop.com)
- The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that the number of jobs for woodworkers will decline by 4% between 2019 and 2029. (indeed.com)
- Overall employment of woodworkers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2020 to 2030, about as fast as the average for all occupations. (bls.gov)

How To
How to join wooden boards without using nails
Woodworking is a favorite hobby. You can make useful items from wood with your hands, which is both relaxing and fun. However, there are times when you want to join two pieces of wood together without having to use nails. This article will explain how to do this so that your woodwork projects stay beautiful.
Before you can join the wood pieces together, you need to remove any rough edges. Avoid leaving sharp edges that could lead to problems later. Now you can start gluing the boards together.
You should only glue one side of hardwood. If you're using softwoods like pine or cedar, you should put glue on both sides. Once the glue has dried, press the boards together until they are fully adhered. Before you proceed to the next step, be sure to let the glue dry completely.
After you have glued the boards together, drill holes in the joints where you intend to place screws. Depending on the type of screw that you use, the size of these holes will vary. For example, if your screw is a 1/2-inch wooden screw, drill a hole that is at minimum 3/4 inches deep.
Once you have drilled your holes you will need to drive the screws through each joint and into the backside. Be careful not to hit the front surface of the board, or else you'll ruin the finish. When driving the screws, try to avoid hitting the ends of the screws too much. This will prevent the wood from splitting.
Protect your finished project now. You can either cover the entire furniture or just the top. You will want to choose a product that will be durable for many years. Examples include oil-based varnishes and polyurethanes, shellac, lacquer and others.
These products can be found in most home improvement shops. Make sure you get the right product for your job. Don't forget to keep in mind that some finishes are toxic. Always wear protective gear when handling any of these finishes.
