What woods are suitable for making furniture?
Woods are classified by their hardness. Softwoods are pine, cedar and cypress. Because they are resistant to rot, softwoods are often used as outdoor furniture. These hardwoods include maple, mahogany and teak. They can't withstand the elements outside so they're best kept indoors.
How can I learn basic woodworking skills
A great way to start learning how to build furniture is by building a simple bench for yourself. This project can easily be done using whatever wood you have at your house. If you aren't sure what type of wood to use, you can buy cheap pine boards from Lowes or Home Depot. You'll need to sand the bench after it's built. Then, finish it with varnish or a stain.

If you want to make sure that your furniture lasts as long as possible, then you should choose a paint that is resistant to water.

How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We use many methods to measure wood. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
