Local sourced wood for your furniture
Not all wood is created equal. When sourcing wood for your projects, you'll want to be sure you're using the highest quality material possible. Here's how to save money by using wood from your local area: 1. Know the difference between types of wood 2. Know your sources 3. Know where prices fall 4. Know where to look
There are two main types of wood: hardwood and softwood. Hardwoods are hard, dense, and last a lot longer than softwoods. Softwoods are light, easy to work with, and cost a lot less.Hardwoods are typically used for structural timbers (siding, flooring, ceilings, etc.), cabinetry, and architectural products. These products include veneers, planking, and siding. Potential choices include African Mahogany, Angsana, and Balau. Rest assured that you’ll be able to obtain fresh, top quality wood from your local area. If you need assistance selecting the right wood, contact a local hardwood expert like Timber Actually. To determine how much your home will incur in wood expenses, plan your purchase based on your budget and investment style. Check local job sites, call your local hardwood supplier or retailer, and ask questions. You may find that you save money and have more time to focus on your home’s aesthetics and function. The initial cost of wood is significant. However, it is an inexpensive addition to your home’s maintenance costs. Check with your local wood retailer and cabinet maker to determine the cost.
