When you invest in a high-end piece of furniture, you’re not just buying a beautiful object, but a piece of craftsmanship and history.
At Example Art, we take pride in every step of the furniture-making process, from selecting the finest raw materials to finishing each piece by hand. In this post, we’ll take you through the journey of creating a high-end piece of furniture, from start to finish.
The first step in creating a piece of furniture is selecting the raw materials. We carefully choose the best quality wood from sustainably managed forests to ensure the durability and longevity of our pieces. The species of wood we choose depend on the design and intended use of the furniture.
For example, we might use walnut for a dining table due to its strength and natural beauty, or maple for a bedroom dresser because of its hardness and durability.
Once the wood has been selected, it’s time for the milling process. This involves cutting and shaping the wood into the appropriate pieces for the furniture. We use advanced computer-controlled machinery to ensure precision and accuracy in the cutting and shaping process.
The use of technology allows us to create intricate designs and shapes that would be difficult to achieve by hand.
After the wood has been cut and shaped, it’s time for the joinery process. This involves joining the individual pieces of wood together using traditional joinery techniques such as mortise and tenon, dovetails, and finger joints. These techniques not only create strong and durable furniture but also add to the beauty and character of the piece.
Next, it’s time for sanding and finishing. Our skilled craftsmen hand-sand each piece of furniture to ensure a smooth and even finish. Then, we apply a variety of finishes depending on the intended look and feel of the furniture. We might use a clear coat to showcase the natural beauty of the wood or apply a stain to create a specific color or look.
Finally, it’s time for the assembly process.
This involves putting together all the individual pieces of the furniture using screws, dowels, and other hardware. We take great care to ensure that each piece is assembled correctly and securely, so that it will last for years to come.
In conclusion, the process of creating a high-end piece of furniture is a journey of craftsmanship and attention to detail. At Example Art, we take pride in every step of this process, from selecting the finest raw materials to finishing each piece by hand. We believe that investing in high-quality furniture is not just a purchase, but a statement of timeless beauty and craftsmanship.
