So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Benefits Of Handmade Wood Furniture

By Jeffrey Stone


The value and worth of furniture has really changed as time passes by. Fittings and fixtures are not of the same quality they were in the past as their value has really been reduced. This has been attributed to high demand for furniture leading to the adoption of other cheap means of producing fittings at a cheaper cost by industries. This excerpt will discuss the gains of using handmade wood furniture in the current world.

Solid handcrafted timber fittings are more durable that industry made fittings. Industries aim is profit making and not the durability of products they make. Thus, the fittings produced in industries are made of low quality manufactured timber that is not created to last. Fittings made from solid timber are very strong and durable that can be passed down to generations still in perfect condition.

Using handcrafted furnishes made from solid timber proves cheaper in the long run than using manufactured furnishes that are cheap. This rotates around durability where the cost of replacing furnishes from time to time ends up being costlier than the cost of buying handcrafted ones. Thus, it is recommendable to use handcrafted solid timber fittings because they are cheap to maintain and are not easily replaced because of wearing off.

Another important gain of using handcrafted solid timber fittings is that they can be customized to fit the clients' designs. This is very important because it creates uniqueness and gives clients exactly what they require. Manufactured fittings on the other hand usually have a specific design with differentiated color and patterns used. This increases the probability of finding the same type of furnishes in different places.

Handcrafted fittings are eco-friendly. The fact that they are made to last, they reduce instances of pilling up cheap stuff that has already worn out to peoples' landfill, unlike manufactured fittings. When solid timber furnishings wear out, timber used in making them can be recycled to serve other purposes but manufactured furnishings are a waste when they wear out and cannot be reused again.

The use of handcrafted furniture promotes the flow of income and resources within a society. Many solid timber furnishings are made by local artisans within the society thus money paid for furnishes remains within the society. This is a good way to support local industries and the community at large. In addition, cost of transporting furnishes is greatly reduced because the distance to clients' homes is not very far.

The energy requirements in making handcrafted solid timber furnishes are very minimal compared to the energy required to make industry manufactured furnishes. A lot of coal, nuclear and natural gas energy is employed in making manufactured furnishes leading to a lot of emissions into the environment. Handcrafted furnishes do not produce any harmful emissions to the environment.

The art of craftsmanship is promoted through the sale of handcrafted solid timber furniture. This improves skills of artisans through exposure to clients' different designs throughout time making a class of skilled craftsmanship within a society. This builds a tradition of craftsmanship that is passed through to generations as a heritage and pride of the society. Manufactured furnishings contribute to dwindling craftsmanship.
