FAQ
What is the difference of plywood and particleboard?
Plywood is made of layers of wood that are pressed together under pressure. Plywood can be cut to different thicknesses. It's commonly used as flooring and cabinets. Particle board is made from sawdust mixed with resin and then compressed into large blocks. It is used primarily for home improvements. Both boards can be cut easily and are both durable.
Can I refinish furniture that I make?
Yes! You don't have to hire a professional to refinish furniture. There are many ways you can do it yourself. Here are some ideas:
To remove stains and scratches, use sandpaper. After that, use a clean towel to wipe the surface.
Use clear polyurethane varnish. Allow furniture to dry completely before you move it around.
Acrylic paint is a great way to paint furniture.
Stain can be used instead of paint. The stain will give the furniture a rich look.
Apply shellac wax. Applying wax will give the wood shine and protection.
Which material would you recommend for woodworking lessons?
Start with softwoods such as pine and poplar. After you are comfortable with the softwoods, move to hardwood.
What types of woods are best for furniture making?
Woods are classified according to their hardness. Softwoods can be pine, fir or cedar. Because they resist rot, softwoods can be used to make outdoor furniture. You can find hardwoods like oak, maple, mahogany, teak, and others. They are generally indoors as they don't weather well outside.
Do I have the potential to make a decent living doing this?
Yes! Many woodworkers have this ability. According to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), woodworkers earned a median annual salary of $34,000 in May 2012. That's higher than the national average of $31,000 per year.

How To
How to stain wood
The process of staining wood involves the application of chemicals to the wood's surface, which causes it to change its color. This chemical reaction changes the wood's color from white to brownish. Oak is the most commonly used wood for staining, but other woods can also be stained.
There are many methods to apply stain to wood surfaces. Mixing the stain in a solvent such as turpentine and spraying it onto the wood is one method. You can also apply a solution containing water and dye directly to the wooden surface. You can also mix stains with varnishes or paints so that they become part the finish coating.
Preparing your wood for staining is the first thing to do. To apply the stain, clean the wood completely. Sanding smoothens any scratches or rough spots. Next, you need to decide which stain you want. There are two types of stains that can be used: penetrating and non-penetrating. Penetrating stain penetrates deeper into wood than nonpenetrating, making them suitable for dark colors like mahogany. Penetrating stains are best paired with lighter colors, such as maple.
You will need to decide on the type of stain you want to use, and then prepare your tools. A paintbrush works well for applying stains because it allows you to spread the liquid evenly across the surface. To remove any stains left behind after painting, you will need some rags. If you intend to mix the stain yourself you will need enough containers to hold all the components.
After you have prepared your materials for staining, clean the area. Use warm water and soap to clean away dirt and dust. You can wipe down the entire furniture using a damp rag with clean water. If you intend to stain darker wood, make sure you get rid of any debris.
Apply the stain next. The stain can be applied by spraying or brushing the stain onto one end of the furniture. Work slowly and carefully, moving back and forth along the grain of the wood until you reach the opposite end. You must be careful not to allow the stain to drip off the wood's edges. Allow the stain to dry completely before you move on to the next step.
To protect the painted surface, apply a coat of clear polyurethane sealant. Three coats of polyurethane sealing agent are required. Allow the third coat of polyurethane sealer to dry overnight before applying the final coat.
