FAQ
What's the difference?
Hobbyists are passionate about making things from wood, while professionals tend to be more focused on the quality and craftsmanship of their work. Hobbyists are proud of their creations and will often share them with family members and friends. Professionals spend hours researching design ideas before starting to work on a project. They'll pay great attention to details, from choosing the most suitable materials to finishing the work perfectly.
How can I learn basic woodworking skills
You can start building furniture by making a bench. You can do this project using any type of wood you have on hand at home. If you are unsure what type of wood is best, you can get cheap pine boards at Lowes (or Home Depot) instead. After you've built your bench, you'll want to sand off all the rough edges and finish it with a stain or varnish.
Do you have any other information I should know about woodworking and/or the process of making it?
It is easy to underestimate the amount work involved with furniture construction. Finding the right wood for the project is the hardest part. There are so many wood options that it can be difficult to choose the right one.
Another issue is that wood does not have the same properties. Some woods will warp and others will split or crack. You must take these things into consideration before purchasing wood.
Where to Buy Hardwood Lumber?
Home Depot offers hardwood lumber. They sell all kinds of wood products, including flooring, cabinets, furniture, etc.
They also have an extensive selection of engineered hardwoods such as Ipe (Araucaria Angustifolia), Brazilian Cherry (Pau d'Arco), and Mahogany (Swietenia Macrophylla).
These woods can be found online by searching for "hardwood lumber" in Google.

How To
How to stain wood
Staining wood refers to applying chemicals to wood's surface. This chemical reaction causes the wood to change in color. The wood will turn from white to brownish-red due to the chemical reaction. Although oak is the most popular type of wood to stain, there are many other types that can be used.
There are many ways to stain wood surfaces. Some methods include mixing the stain along with a solvent like turpentine and then applying the mixture to the wood by brushing or spraying. Others use a solution made up of water and dye, which is then applied directly onto the wood. The stain can be mixed with paints and varnishes to become part of the final coating.
Preparing the surface for staining wood is the first step. The wood must be thoroughly cleaned to remove all grease and dirt. Sanding the wood smooths out rough spots and scratches. Next, you need to decide which stain you want. There are two main types of stain: non-penetrating and penetrating. Penetrating stain penetrates deeper into wood than nonpenetrating, making them suitable for dark colors like mahogany. The best non-penetrating colors are those that work with light colors like maple.
Once you have decided on the stain type that you want, get your tools ready. You can use a paintbrush to apply stains. This allows you spread the liquid evenly over the surface. A few rags are also handy to clean up any spillages after you have finished painting. If you plan on mixing the stain yourself make sure that you have enough containers to hold the different components.
After you have prepared your materials for staining, clean the area. Use soap and warm water to remove dust and grime. You can wipe down the entire furniture using a damp rag with clean water. Be sure to get rid of all loose material, especially if staining is planned for darker wood.
Apply the stain. Apply the stain by brushing or spraying it onto one side of the furniture. Slowly and carefully move along the grain of wood, slowly but steadily, until you reach the other end. Keep the stain from dripping off the wood's surface. Before you proceed with the next steps, let the stain dry completely.
Clear polyurethane is used to protect the painted surfaces. Apply three coats of polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat of polyurethane sealer to dry overnight before applying the final coat.
