Bird In Hand Woodworks, located in Lancaster Pa, specializes in constructing custom furniture and cabinetry. Founded by renowned furniture designer Richard L. Metzler and his partner Rebecca Etter, this unique local business takes pride in hand-crafting one of a kind pieces that bring a customer’s vision to life. Here are few interesting design tips and woodworking techniques that Bird In Hand Woodworks can help you with:
1. Choosing the Right Wood: Solid hardwoods such as oak, walnut and cherry have excellent durability, beauty and craftsmanship qualities whereas softer woods like pine offer an attractive rustic look. When choosing a type of wood for your furniture project it is important to consider the long-term impact of its characteristics on the piece.
2. Joinery Techniques: Joinery techniques refer to how different parts of the furniture are connected together – Think dovetails and mortise & tenon joints on chairs or tables versus metal fasteners like screws or glue joints. Attached construction is widely used as it provides strong, aesthetically pleasing joints while allowing flexibility to disassemble components easily if needed.
3. Finishing Touches: Finishing touches such as waxing or staining can significantly enhance the look and feel of natural wood materials but can also be tricky to execute – It helps to practice beforehand in order to get the desired effect accurately and efficiently!
