My mom’s friend bought me a wood carving knife a long time about and I loved it it was really simple just a wooden handle and about a 1 inch blade on the end and that’s about it nothing fancy. I have no idea where it went and I was wandering if anyone could direct me to a good wood carving kit or knife or recommend one please.

John Alford asked:
When looking to find good furniture, most of the options you’ll find available in the market are made of wood. This is simply because wood has always produced good quality pieces; available in various hues and firmness; durable and long lasting; and they can easily be cut and shaped into the design preferred by the manufacturer. Such are the attributes too, of the pine wood furniture we can purchase from stores or online.
If you’ve decided you finally need to replace your old stuff at home and you are considering buying wood furniture, then deciding which kind of wood on what furniture can be such a challenging task. As you are soon going to find out on your own, there are so many types of woods and finishes that are being offered and each type has its own advantage over the other. Try to clear your mind a bit now as we zoom in to one particular type of wood that is commonly used in furniture making.
Pine wood defined
Since a lot of furniture pieces are made from pine wood like dining tables, chairs, cabinets, or beds; it is best to know what a pine wood is.
There are two types of wood - hardwood and softwood . The classification is primarily based on the tree’s leaves and not on how tough the wood is. The hardwood trees have leaves that fall seasonally while the softwoods have leaves intact all year-round.
Pine is considered softwood and it varies from country to country. Some of the most commonly used pines for furniture in the US include Eastern White Pine, Sugar pine, and Ponderosa. These pine trees produce pine wood that features a light yellow color with dark, standout grains and knots. Pine wood is great for staining and as a softwood, it is easy to carve and work on.
Why Pine wood furniture pieces?
* The unfinished pine wood furniture sells cheaper than other sets made from other kinds of wood and that makes it quite popular.
* Coated with paint or varnish, the pine wood could easily achieve a fine finish. Its natural knots also contribute to making the furniture look really unique.
* Pine wood furniture mixed with other pieces in a room still looks good.
* Great for that rustic look or if you prefer English or Country themes.
* Very flexible in that it can be easily painted to match a room. Designs can be stenciled on it for more original creations. It can also be repainted again and again depending on the changing preferences of the user.
Since there are quite a few kinds of pine wood available it is good to know first what you really want for your decor. Compared to hardwood, pine is much more pliable in that it can be easily manipulated or worked on. If manufactured excellently, a piece of pine wood furniture can last for a long, long time. As there are really knots naturally found on pine wood, it is wise to check for those furniture with less knots as these can create holes that can make the furniture less durable.

How would I find out if the piece I have is a primitive wood carving?
Filed Under Earth Sciences & Geology | Leave a Comment
jsstarmom asked:
I recently found a piece of wood at the lake. It looks more like a primitive carving than driftwood. It is not as hard as stone, yet it is hard and heavy. It has the appearance of a face (quite distinctly). When looked at from differant angles it has differant appearances. It also has both female and male definition. It is not your typical piece of driftwood and gives one the feeling that in times past it might have been a “special” or “spiritual piece”. Would love to know how to identify its origin.

If you are looking for classic furniture but with a specific touch of different culture combined with innovative design and high quality you will surely enjoy their modern bedroom furniture. You have to feel its grace, quality and presence for yourself. You don’t have to sacrifice quality for affordability, or affordability for quality. Your bedroom is where you spend a lot of quality time. Many people have written guides on the different styles and shapes of beds.
If you know all the styles that are out there, you will be in a position to make a very educated decision. Your are able to get bedroom furniture in many different and available styles, some of the styles are Mexican, Santa Fe, Mission or Southwestern, these can be applied to dressers, beds, chests, armoires, and nightstands.
You can find bedroom furniture just about anywhere and many of the stores provide information about the furniture. If you re-decorator your room a lot then purchasing high quality furniture might not be good for you, cheap is probably the best choice.
You can also find beds that are carved, which are really great to own and they look great. You could also weigh the option of buying smaller beds to save money. Many people get confused when choosing the furniture, the different sizes of the mattress and the hardness and softness is sometimes confusing.
Beds are available in four standard sizes - king size, queen size, double and twin. When looking for beds it is best to choose the one that fits your sense of décor, color and style. Beds are available in different shapes, styles, and materials to suit varying needs.
For children you should find the furniture that has storage, this way you can hide the toys, CDs, books or any other thing you don’t want in the open. Make sure the bedroom furniture has the ability store items. Kids toys and books need storage, so when choosing try to find something that handle this task.
As with all furniture, the design will cost more than anything else, so if you’re looking to buy something endorsed or created by a well-known designer, be prepared to pay for it. Many people try to purchase the cheapest furniture and mattress for their bedrooms but since you sleep and use your bedroom ever day you should purchase the highest quality you can. For instance, when they are little you might want to buy a toy box with it.
When purchasing furniture for your bedroom you can get it custom made and in any type of color or style. One of the main parts of bedroom set is chests, armoires, headboards, of course the beds, night stand and finally the dressers. If you are in the market for a high quality bedroom many people get their furniture custom made for durability.
Finding the right size night table is important; the reason for this is because you want to make sure you can fit clocks, lamps and photos on them. You can choose to match or have mismatched night tables which are becoming very popular.

Wood Chess Sets - a Touch of Class
Filed Under Board Games | Leave a Comment
John Sokol asked:
Early chess master Siegbert Tarrasch once said, “Chess, like love, like music, has the power to make men happy”. Why not add to your game-playing enjoyment by incorporating the natural beauty of a wood chess set.
Wood chess sets are classic in the chess playing world because of their association with the Staunton style of design. But wood chess sets have also pushed and continue to push the boundaries of their visual stereotype due to avid and inventive chess artisans with advancing CNC technology, also known as robotic manufacturing methods.
Before you go out and purchase a wood chess set, understand that a wood chess set’s style isn’t the only feature worth considering in your purchase. Natural wood materials lend an innate touch of class to wood chess sets and can really emphasize chess set design. So the inquiring buyer should be aware of what materials are available in the manufacture of wood chess sets. This wide variety of timber contains species such as:
Mahogany – Particular strains of mahogany such as Khaya grandifoliola are popular choices in constructing wood chess sets. This particular wood chess set-friendly variety grows mostly on the West Coast of Africa. The color of mahogany’s heartwood can range from a pink to a dark cocoa brown.
Maple – Sugar Maple is a popular material used to manufacture wood chess sets. Wood chess sets using this species of maple have a faint red coloration that can also be interpreted as pink. Sugar Maple is readily accessible in North America as its found in New England, southeastern Manitoba, Nova Scotia, North Carolina and eastern Kansas.
Walnut – European Walnut, also known as Juglans regia, came to Western Europe via the Romans and Asia Minor. European walnut is a market rarity as it is not in high supply and can only be found in the processed form of veneer. Wood chess sets made with European Walnut tend to have a grayish-brown hue with a darker irregular grain. European walnut is durable and polishes well. Walnut, great for staining and enduring UV exposure makes a logical choice for use in the manufacture of wood chess sets.
Sheesham (Indian Rosewood) – Otherwise known as Palisander. Dalbergia latifolia grows in such places as the Indian peninsula. Sheesham can also be found near the Himalayan Mountains in Orissa, Sikkim, Bihar and Oudah. Chess sets usually incorporate Indian Rosewood as a veneer as it isn’t shaped easily by hand. Sheesham comes in hues from rose to dark brown.
Erable – Also called European Field Maple, this timber calls Europe home. Erable can be found in Europe’s old growth forests, but it is more commonly harvested from human-regulated forests in places like Spain. Erable carves easily and wood chess sets made with erable have a soft golden coloring and strong inset grain that comes to life with a lacquered finish.
Aspen – Aspen is a popular material used in North American wood chess sets. The Populus tremula strain of aspen or Trembling Aspen is found in an area that includes Virginia, Newfoundland and Alaska. Trembling Aspen is also found in the Rocky Mountains, southern Arizona and northern New Mexico. Aspen is colored from a light white to soft beige and adds a beautiful accent to wood chess sets.
Many of the aforementioned materials can be found in wood chess sets sold by online distributors. Many online retailers have a wide selection to choose from. Find one that provides a trusted and reliable online service with numerous quality materials and design choices.

The Natural Beauty of Wood
Filed Under Home Improvement | Leave a Comment
Terry Henman asked:
Nothing can add both comfort and richness to a room in quite the same that wood can. It seamlessly blends timeless quality and comfort with up-to-the-second style and adds a level of depth to a room with an ease no other material can match. The beauty of wood is found in the natural pattern of its grain. It is available in countless different varieties and can be treated, polished, waxed or varnished to suite your needs. The problem with wood lies not in finding uses for it but in having the discipline to stop your home becoming a winter wonderland!
Before deciding on what type of wood to go for, first you must decide how you want it to speak to visitors to home. A dark oak or mahogany will give a room classic stateliness. If this is the style for you, choose a more ornate cut for your furniture and pay close attention to period details such including a wooden dado rail or oversize oak display cabinet. Adding finishing touches such as heavy draped curtains and floral patterned fabrics on your settee and cushions will really complete the look for relatively little expense. For a lighter feel which brings alpine freshness into your home, stick to a blonde wood and use it more simply and robustly. Think wood veneer walls finished of with a sheep skin rug and an open fire. Keep patterns to a minimum and choose a pale green or winter white for your walls.
Wood is used to amazing effect if it is a little retro styling you looking for. Try having a look online or perhaps in a local antique store for some original Ercol furniture which was an ever present in British homes during the mid twentieth century. To strengthen the look add fabrics in classic orange and perhaps add a little plastic detailing in the shape of a clock or lamp then finish it off with an animal print rug or throw.
Wood can also be used to create a real ethnic or Moroccan vibe. Look for carved statuettes and ornaments and really layer up on your cushions and fabrics. To really finish off the look, substitute a coffee table for a large wooden chest.
If you have perhaps gone a little overboard in your quest for minimal perfect and your front room is now a little cold and lacking in atmosphere, wood is the perfect foil. A free form tree section used as a central contrast will contrast perfectly with a pure white backdrop full of sharp angles and clean edges. Alternatively, you could include similarly sharp cuts of wood which echo the theme of the room as accents in the form of lamps, picture frames or ornaments, which will all help break up the empty feel.
With wood there are so many possibilities, there is literally nothing it can’t do, nothing it won’t match and no room it won’t enhance. A true chameleon of home furnishing, wood guarantees your money will not be wasted.

Wooden Computer Desk
Sure, computers are modern and that have those snazzy metal and plastic or fake wood computer desks, but there’s something about having a quality made all wood desk to sit your computer on. Maybe it’s the contrast. Whatever it is, a wood computer desk is a good way to add to your home.
Wooden Couch
You obviously don’t want an all wooden couch - who would want to sit on that?! Finding a couch that has exposed wood is a good way to complement other things in your room’s decor or to follow an already established theme.
Wooden Rocker
Whether it’s inside or outside, a wood rocking chair can add style and comfort to your house. This timeless classic, in wood, is found in many good homes around the world.
Wooden Table
Some might prefer metal and glass tables, but there’s something about an all wood table, especially if it’s had any kind of craftsmanship done on it. From carvings to intricate table legs, wood gives furniture designers a lot of ways to add something special to the table of your dreams.
Wooden Playpen
While this isn’t necessary if you don’t have children or don’t ever take care of children, if you do, a wooden playpen is a great investment that you can hand down to your children when they have children of their own.
Wooden Swing-set
Again, this only applies if you have children or take care of children (nieces and nephews, grandchildren), but an all wood swing-set makes a favorite play area for a child a little more special. A wooden swing-set is also less of an eye-sore in your yard if you care about your landscaping.
Wooden Stools
Whether it’s a bar stool or a foot stool, a real wood stool is a great, inexpensive way to add a little bit of style to any room in your house. You’ll want to choose one of the hardwoods most likely, but you should have a wide range of color options available.
Wooden Chest
Who doesn’t love a good chest. Whether it’s at the foot of your bed holding extra blankets or in the garage storing mementos, there’s something about a solid wood chest that’s timeless and somehow comforting. You may have to hunt around some to found a quality one, but spend the extra money now and have something to pass on for years to come.
Wood Dining Chairs
Dining chairs are one of the items that really show off the workmanship and craftsmanship of some wood furniture. While the overall design is the same (a chair is a chair), different designers but a lot of effort into the small details of dining chairs. You’ll want to try to pick wood dining chairs that go well with your table.
Wood Entertainment Center
You can cheaply buy a metal or false wood entertainment center and save a few bucks, but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. Why pay a lot of money for a quality television unit then go with a cheap entertainment center to house it. Wood entertainment center design has come a long way over the years as technology changes. Don’t go cheap on this. You won’t be disappointed.
