Tonton Taufik asked:
It is often debated on what truly transforms an empty shell space into a wonderful home. For most, the answer is quite simple. It is the furniture in the house that actually gives its appeal and warmth. The furniture of the house acts as its focal point as aesthetically designed furniture that complements the entire house can transform just any space into a house with unique and rich décor.
Most home buyers and even interior designers perhaps spend more time narrowing down on the type of furniture that they want for their home than the time they spend actually short listing on which home to buy.

Furniture made out of wood, always adds to the ambiance of the house and gives it a rich feeling all the way through. Not to mention wood is one of the most dependable materials available and if proper care if taken, then you wooden furniture can last you a lifetime.
Wood also allows you to be creative and it can be molded anyway you like. You can even have carvings on your wood furniture making it different from the rest. Also with many houses having wooden flooring, your wood furniture will complement every aspect of your house.
The natural appeal of wood is also one of the major points that make it such a desirable material. You can make your house look modern but at the same time retain the old world charm by using wooden furniture as they are so versatile. In fact many people have gone one step further and are now using absolutely natural tree barks as furniture.

Wood? Metal? Glass? Learn What Works Best in your Home
Filed Under Home Improvement | Leave a Comment
Sarika Kabra asked:
While you may be excused for being confused while making your choice of furniture, your friends are not likely to be so kind in their comments when you finally pick up a piece just because you got sick of all the choices. Neither are your children going to spare your furniture just because you spent a packet buying it. It is best to make an informed choice to decide what works best for you.
From the traditional Amish made furniture to the modern factory made smooth finish set, from the classic carved Victorian piece to the atypical non-geometrical design, from a wide variety in the choice of material and colors, you name it and you have it. Think hard before you decide.
Here’s a guide to choosing the best material for your needs.
Wood:
Wood has further multiple choices like natural teak wood, pine wood, rosewood and artificial wood laminates. The difference in the original woods is mainly in the texture and grain and you would do well to have a look at what appeals to you. Teak and rosewoods are the more durable and expensive of the lot. Rosewood Amish furniture can last for years, and still look as good as new, so your money would be well spent.
Wood laminates offer a cheaper version with a modern look, but are handicapped with a short life span. If you intend moving soon to another city, however, it could well fit in with your plans as a cheap, smart alternative.
Metal:
If you want a more contemporary look, metal may work for you. The choice varies from wrought iron to sheet metal to cast iron pipes. A good wrought iron set has the advantage of being sturdy and long lasting. Be aware, however, that the items tend to look a bit dated with time, and it may then be time for you to move on to your next set of sheet metal.
Made of pressed sheet, this is again long lasting, though it may not be able to withstand boisterous children as well as wrought iron would.
Galvanized cast iron pipes are good for strong, light furniture, generally made in combination with a cloth or a nylon mesh.
Plastic:
If you opt for plastic, be ready for a large variety of cheap and durable, yet limited life furniture. Being a very versatile material, plastic can offer you variety like no other. Beware of cheap quality stuff, however, wherein you run the risk of items that may crack, get scratched, fade, or simply break after a while.
Glass:
Glass is yet another versatile material that will give your dining furniture that modern, special look. While an exclusive couple may like to go for the full molded glass pieces, but a combination of wood and glass may work wonders for those with small children. Try Amish dining furniture with a touch of modernity thrown in – ask your dealer to fit in a glass top on a wooden base to have the right mix of class and strength. Make sure, however, that the glass is 8mm to 12mm thick to be of adequate strength.
A word of caution in the end. Having made your decision, do not worry yourself sick thereafter. There will always be that better looking piece or a similar item available at a sale barely a few weeks after you purchased yours. Don’t get tense - be confident that you bought the best piece at the best price available at the time of your decision – or else you wouldn’t have bought it, would you?

Custom-Made Wood Chess Sets
Filed Under Art And Entertainment | Leave a Comment
Keith Londrie asked:
Chess is a very old game that pits two simulated “armies”, evenly matched, across a simple terrain. Each game is a fierce combat fought by foot soldiers, knights, kings, and queens. Although Chess does not deal with numbers and equations, it is like math in many ways. Playing chess has always involved problem-solving skills, which are imperative when working out math equations that have many steps. However, unlike math, the ultimate aim in a Chess game is to vanquish the opponent by “killing” the opposing King. Chess is one of the most popular board games in the world, and possibly the most time-consuming. Truly, life’s too short for chess, and because players spend hours staring at the Chess Board, it is small wonder they are willing to invest large sums of money for purchasing intricately carved, stylish wood chess sets.
Chess can be easily played anywhere. For just a few extra dollars, you can purchase beautiful wood chess sets that enhance your gaming experience. Many varieties of wood are used to make wood chess sets. The traditional or commonly used woods are Golden Rosewood and Boxwood. Some of the more exotic woods include Ebony, Red Sandalwood, and Rosewood. The riches of wood chess sets seem to be inexhaustible. Many chess aficionados prefer wood chess sets because of the elegant feel and natural look of the units. It is indeed astonishing that even after centuries of analysis, Chess poses us with ever new and ever more profound questions.
Although Chess is the fairest of games, the rules of chess do not keep score of accumulated interim results. A player can build up a sizeable advantage over his opponent and keep it during most stages of the contest. But a few seconds lack of attention can squander all his hard work. In chess no one counts advantages, only the ultimate result matters. There is a well-known saying among chess players: “You learn more from the games that you lose than from the games you win.” Of course, to learn from your lost games you must have the strength to face up to them rather than trying to forget that they ever happened.
Chess is so popular that there are actual chess tournements that happen all around the world. These tournements challenge even the best chess players. There is usually a monetary award given to the winners. These awards range from small financial rewards and go as high asa you can imagine.

Jessica Whittaker asked:
If you’re in the market for some new wood furniture, you might have wondered which wood is right for you. The best choice will depend on the atmosphere you want to create, your own aesthetic tastes, and your budget. Read on for a look at the most popular woods used to make wood furniture.
Pine
Pine wood is arguably the most popular wood for affordable furniture. People love it for its light color and natural texture. It’s also less expensive than many other woods. Pine is very versatile. It is used to make bookshelves, bed frames, baby furniture, dining room tables and chairs, and lots of other pieces designed for everyday use. Furniture designers like it because it’s a soft, pliable wood that’s easy to work with. Though pine doesn’t have the longevity that comes with harder woods, it is commonly used to add a rustic touch to any room. Pine can come with veneers, which are made from hard woods like walnut, or unfinished. The unfinished variety can be stained or left natural for a cozy, down-home look.
Oak
Oak is a very popular choice for furniture construction. Like pine, it is versatile and can be used to good effect in many decorating schemes. It comes in two basic types: red and white oak. The red can range in color from pale blonde to light reddish brown, while the white can range from blonde to light brown or even gray. Oak furniture is durable, making it a good choice for children’s rooms and other areas where it will see daily use. It is also quite affordable.
Walnut
Walnut is a hardwood that can be used on its own or fashioned into veneers for furniture made from softer woods. Its rich brown color makes it an instant classic. Walnut trees are famously easy to work with because they have a grain that runs straight throughout them. As an added bonus, walnut wood is easy to carve and polish, and holds a stain well. The lustrous finish that this wood holds makes it a great choice for furnishings that are built to last, such as formal dining furniture or family heirlooms. Its affordability makes it even more appealing to cost-conscious consumers.
Mahogany
As far as looks and price go, mahogany is at the very top of the wood furniture list. This gorgeous red wood has a hard surface and a medium grain. It is commonly used for high-quality, ornamental furniture. Its price puts some shoppers off, but the beauty of mahogany furniture can last a lifetime; in addition to being very attractive, mahogany is also very resilient and stands up well to the rigors of time and use. When cared for properly, mahogany furniture can survive to be passed down from generation to generation. Most higher-end mahogany furniture is made from South American mahogany. There is also an African variety.
Now that you’ve learned about the most popular choices in wood furniture, you’re all set to pick out new furnishings of your own. Choose a wood that fits your budget and style. Keep your wood furniture clean and polished, and you’ll be able to enjoy it for many years to come.

The Indian Handicrafts Signing of Wood

ragini asked:
It is not by chance that
the art of wood carving in Indian has been so famous for generations. Indian is
proud to be a country having one of the world’s longer histories of sculpture,
dating back almost 10,000 years. This is the age of the first carvings of human
faces and animals found in a Dong Noi cave in Hoa Binh Province. During the Dong
Son cultural period, the ancients created houses with boat-shaped curved roofs
and were further embellished by art carvings of the likes of birds, animals and,
unique vignettes.
According to a legend, the
woodcarving patriarch is Mr. Sahni, a famous carpenter in India who built a
splendid temple for the Taj Mountain. Through the ups and downs of dynasties,
generations of carpenters continued to create more and more artistic products
with every passing day.
During years under
domination of Northern feudalism, carpentry in general and wood handicrafts I
particular made great progress through accumulation of experience and
development of traditional experience together with adopting the best of
quintessence of Chinese woodcarving. From the 11 – 12th century,
churches, pagodas, and temples sprung up as religious beliefs sharply developed.
Nowadays, most of the ancient wooden decorations no longer exist because of war,
fire, termites, and harsh weather. For example, beautiful dragon symbols, unique
images distinguishable from others, representing the Ly dynasty only survive
through works made of marble or terracotta.
Following the tradition of
the Ly dynasty, there were additional special woodworks during the Tran dynasty
of 1225 – 1400. Examples were dragons flanking flowers, musicians riding on
birds, fairies riding on phoenixes, and perhaps most notably of all the
decorations of the wood doors of Pho Minh pagoda in Nam Dinh Province which is
the oldest woodwork are realistic, of a free style and mostly concentrated in
general rather than in detail. This was also a flourishing time for wood
artisans to show off their talents through communal house decorations in their
village. Thanks to the skillful hands, splendid places having red lacquer
trimming with gold step-by-step sprung up. Further, wooden furniture started
making their appearance. However, the peak time of woodcarving was from the
16-17th century. Statues of Buddha in famous pagodas such as Tay
Phuong, But Tap and Mia earned acclaim as the most beautiful. The artwork,
“Bodhisattva with a Thousand Eyes and Thousand Arms,” which is 3.7 meters in
height and having 958 arms in the incomparable work of skilled hands and
represents the wide knowledge of artisans. Besides building the palaces,
woodcarving artisans proved their outstanding abilities though popular
architecture such as village communal houses, temples, and pagodas, sanctuaries
where existed thousands of art pieces such as carvings, intaglio, alto-relieves,
inlaid carving, red lacquer works trimmed with gold, and red lacquer works
trimmed with silver. All social classes were attracted by wooden handicrafts as
most of the subjects were based on palace models with classic references and had
practical utilities for daily life.
Many wood handicraft
villages are found throughout the country. Their products are varied, from
architecture (palaces, communal houses in the village,…); furniture (beds,
cupboards, tables, chairs, supports for flower pots,…); worship objects (lamp
stands, incense burners, horizontal lacquered boards, pairs of wood panels on
which are inscribed parallel sentences,…); wooden statues (Buddha, saints, and
famous people) to toys such as dolls, chessboards, animals, birds,…
In the modern era the
social aspect of Indian has fundamentally changed politically, economically, and
culturally. There was some conservation of cultural characteristics but with
some adjustments, some from interfacing with regional countries. Udder the
economic development and market expansion of the end of the 20th
century and the beginning of the 21st century,
Indian handicrafts production
in general and woodcraft in particular were and are strongly encouraged. This
encouragement bodes well and is a good signal for the development of wooden

It is a family heirloom for many generations and is still in excellent condition. Only a pair of the carvings were originally made. I have been trying to trace the other one unsuccessfully for years. Most probably it is either still in China when the properties were didvided among the two brothers or destroyed during the Chinese cultural revolution many years ago.

I guess my real question is: Do I have to know exactly what I want to carve before drying it? Is it so much easier to peel off the bark before you dry that you want to decide what you want to make it and peel it off accordingly? Or is it just as easy to peel it off after it drys?

anonymous asked:
Most people would agree that Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world. Whether you follow golf or not, there is an important aspect to Tiger Wood’s success that often gets overlooked. He has at any one time three or four coaches.
Even with all his natural ability Tiger Woods understands that coaching, being held accountable by others, not only accelerates the process of his successful performance but creates a winning performance strategy.
His coaches include one for his swing, one for fitness and his caddy for guidance on the course. Whether you are looking for executive business coaching or business life coaching there is one goal….to coach success. Successful coaching understands where you are at now and helps you create pathways to upgrade your business and your life.
When determining whether or not coaching is for you there are some questions you may want to ask. Do I feel stuck? Do I feel overwhelmed? Am I on a treadmill where I can’t seem to get off? What’s keeping me from the results and life I desire? There are many more questions you may ask but this will give you some idea.
The next thing you must ask yourself is: Am I open to change? Many people think they are. But in reality they are looking a quick, temporary fix. Coaching is about change and hopefully having that change become permanent to prevent you from going back to the ways that didn’t work.
Be honest with yourself. Once you understand and take ownership that the key to change and the responsibility for change is yours, then your probability of co-creating a successful performance strategy increases.
You have now decided to find a coach. You have committed to learning new skills and disciplines. You have decided to carve out the time. But, how do you find the best one for you. Look for someone who has a background in your area, for example, maybe you are looking for small business growth and they have had a small business running successfully or several that have done well.
In this case you would want a small business coach who has the experience to grow small business. Now that you have found the person with the experience you need to see how you feel. That’s right….feel. Is the chemistry good? With the right experience and the wrong chemistry things will not work.
A business life coach or small business coach with the right experience is great. And to increase the odds of your success they will hold you accountable. Think about it. Tiger Woods’ success and improvement comes from his willingness to be held accountable by others. If you are serious about your success then you will be willing to held accountable by others the same as Tiger Woods.

Most people would agree that Tiger Woods is the best golfer in the world. Whether you follow golf or not, there is an important aspect to Tiger Wood’s success that often gets overlooked. He has at any one time three or four coaches.
Even with all his natural ability Tiger Woods understands that coaching, being held accountable by others, not only accelerates the process of his successful performance but creates a winning performance strategy.
His coaches include one for his swing, one for fitness and his caddy for guidance on the course. Whether you are looking for executive business coaching or business life coaching there is one goal….to coach success. Successful coaching understands where you are at now and helps you create pathways to upgrade your business and your life.
When determining whether or not coaching is for you there are some questions you may want to ask. Do I feel stuck? Do I feel overwhelmed? Am I on a treadmill where I can’t seem to get off? What’s keeping me from the results and life I desire? There are many more questions you may ask but this will give you some idea.
The next thing you must ask yourself is: Am I open to change? Many people think they are. But in reality they are looking a quick, temporary fix. Coaching is about change and hopefully having that change become permanent to prevent you from going back to the ways that didn’t work.
Be honest with yourself. Once you understand and take ownership that the key to change and the responsibility for change is yours, then your probability of co-creating a successful performance strategy increases.
