Some reasons why you should purchase teak furniture for your home.

Teak wood originates from and around Burma, Indonesia and because the wood grows in areas where there are dramatic changes between the dry and wet seasons there it is believed that this helps the woods resilience to many of natures forces across the world and which in turn has made it an extremely popular choice for people when looking for garden and patio furniture.

Even during the centuries when it was being used for ship and boat building, the making of wagon wheels and many other high abuse situations it has only been recently than people have begun to see the benefits of using it for making furniture. Certainly teak has not only stood the tests of time when as a wagon wheel it would roll along many old gravel roads hundreds even thousands of time or that has coped with the harshness of the open sea or oceans of the world as the hull of a boat it only seems natural that it should be able to withstand wind, rain, sun or snow as a piece of garden furniture.

So by combining the durability of the teak wood along with it's natural beauty you have a winner on your hands. Each year thousands of households are discovering and agreeing that teak is the ultimate choice. Teak wood comes in a beautiful golden brown shade and this can easily be kept just by simply applying some teak wood oil, but if you want to go for the more rustic look, then you do not need to apply any treatment and other some time the wood will fade to a natural silver grey colour.

You will find that teak wood furniture needs little maintenance but washing it with warm soapy water to remove any dirt or dust is a good idea, especially prior to you applying an teak wood oil (remember to let the wood dry before applying). You can if you want just wash the garden furniture off using the garden hose only because the wood possesses a high level of natural oil which prevents it from becoming water logged.

After some time you may also notice that wood is showing some small surface cracks, but these do not run deep and certainly do not pose any structural threat to the wood itself. In fact it is these cracks and the changes in the woods colour that draws so many people to the rustic natural look of the wood in the first place.

Certainly as teak wood becomes even more popular, I'm sure that we will see knock offs and copies being produced and whilst the appearance of them may be the same the real reason why so many people purchase teak furniture is its durability and natural beauty which in the long run will be very difficult to copy. So when considering purchasing new furniture think Teak. There are many shops not just around the world but also online who can offer a varied range of furniture. Remember it is worth spending that little extra and what ever piece or pieces that you are purchase you can be sure that you will not need to replace that piece/s forever.

Featuring accurate front, side, and top views, complete cutting lists, and comprehensive section and detail views, these drawings offer today’s woodworkers a unique opportunity to reproduce the rare furniture line, which has often been photographed but not presented in such detail. Including introductory chapters on both the Greenes and the Halls, an extensive discussion covers suitable woods and finishes and provides solid technical information on how to make such characteristic Greene & Greene details as proud ebony plugs and splines, breadboard ends, and cloud lifts.

Customer Review: Greene & Greene for the master craftsman

This has to be the most beautiful book in the series of Arts & Crafts style shop drawings from Robert Lang, and I have them all. I have to say, almost every piece in this book is one where you have to decide that you are going to devote between 6 months and a year of your life to making. I have not yet made this committment, but I already see how reading this book has influenced some of the details on my other work. Gorgeous color plates of these masterpieces are included and everything is printed on archival quality glossy paper. Drawings are clear and descriptive text is concise and well written. Overall I recommend this to any student of Greene and Green (and Peter and John Hall, the craftsmen who actually built most of these pieces for them!)

Customer Review: Shop drawings book review

This book is a welcome add to the many showing the arts & crafts furniture designs. The text and drawings are first rate and guide you through the design process. The author certainly has done a complete investigation to put together this fine review of the many arts & crafts furniture era.

Customer Review: Great Blanket

This electric blanket is a great deal. The woven pattern really makes it look nice, and it heats up your whole bed almost instantly. It's thicker than most electric blankets, making it seem more like an actual soft comfortable blanket as opposed to a large heating pad. The only thing I wish was different was the color. There's nothing wrong with moss green; I just wish there were more options.
