Solid Wood Furniture Versus Veneer
Some makers use both types of construction in building custom furniture and cabinets custom. Now let's look at these options and their strengths and weaknesses.
solid wood furniture, this means that all exposed parts are of the same species of natural wood with no other materials included, such as plywood or particle board.
Advantages of solid wood:
Practice. The durability of solid wood furniture is high on the list. Scratches, dings, dents, water marks, stains can be repaired. Obviously, the worst damage from the most expensive, but it is certainly easier and less expensive than veneer furniture.
Solid wood Disadvantages:
Split. When exposed to extreme conditions of the atmosphere, solid wooden furniture expand or contract, and may split along the grain of the wood. Some manufacturers use a "floating case system" in which surfaces table and case pieces and joined by a support method or elongated holes for screws to slide. This allows the furniture to respond to environmental change without suffering damage. Generally, however, to avoid exposure to strong sunlight parts or direct heat sources.
metal furniture of good quality have a solid core and legs, posts, doors and drawer fronts will be straight solid wood grain.
Advantages of Veneer:
Beautiful. The best, most interesting logs are cut into the plate. This is largely an economic decision - sellers and veneer makers can make more money with a record of high quality sliced veneer as much of the Serra in tables. And certain cuts, such as knots, are structurally unsound in 'the sound. " These beautiful woods can rarely be used unless they are cut into veneer
Environmentally friendly. Lumber is typically sawn in 1 "thick boards. The saw cuts a groove between the boards 1 / 4" thick that ends up as sawdust. sheet is not cut from the log, but sliced with a knife (like lunch meat) into 1 / 32 "leaves or sheets. That produces 32 veneer surfaces for every one that is obtained from a table and no waste of wood as sawdust another 8 sheets in the saw blade is gone. That is 40 veneer surfaces for each of solid wood.
Create design new possibilities. Since veneer is so thin and stick to a stable
Stable. Since the plate is glued to a stable substrate produces surfaces not prone to warp or splitting or seasonal movement.
Substrates. Plywood and fiber boards average density, the substrates used for some furniture, are made from low quality trees. This means a market that provides the owner of these trees. This leads to better forests over time as the remaining trees grow better and faster with less competition for resources. It's like weeding your garden only a lot large.
Tin Disadvantages:
Delgada. This is more a problem for the builder than the buyer. Sand through the preparation is finishing "touch the third rail" of wood. These pieces are nearly impossible to repair and frequently involve "re-design" (as in cutting Sand the area) or making a repair speculative and difficult it can be difficult to hide. Once the piece is full thickness of the plate is not importance.
We at Berkshire Furniture think they are good in both species. It depends on who is the manufacturer and how it is constructed. When buying furniture, always ask if it is real wood veneer or plywood imitation. If table surface or top of the wooden box is perfect and unreal, then it is most likely a veneer. Poros, wear and the knots of the wood can be easily find, even in wood veneers, whether from wood veneer. These pores, scratches and marks are the signature of the nature and proves to the buyer, yes, this is a real piece of wood that is veneered in this top.
