CRAFTSMANSHIP
At ART CLASSIC Furniture we strongly believe that
if something is worth doing then it is worth doing properly. All of our designs
are genuinely made by hand from the finest quality materials using only
traditional carpentry techniques. By concentrating on these fundamental basics
Handicraft Gallery produces high quality furniture to last a lifetime.
As traditional
carpenters we employ a wide variety of carpentry techniques to ensure that we
produce a superior and long lasting product. We specialize in using skill
carpenter modification with handmade and machine joints where appropriate to give enhanced strength and structural
integrity. We also employ a wide variety of construction techniques including
dovetail joints, biscuits joints, miters joints, dado and rabbet joints and of
course chamfering on most side edges.
We prefer to use teak
dowels for outdoor furniture and mahogany dowels (or pegs) for indoor furniture
as fixings. However, sometimes the use of a modern stainless steel screw is
stronger than a traditional dowel. If a screw is used in the construction then
it will be countersunk and a teak pellet (or cap) is then fitted into the recess
and hand sanded to ensure a beautiful and clean fit.
We
really care about how we make our furniture, it is not simply a production
process for our carpenters but an art form, and whilst many designs will look
the same, every piece will be unique!
There are several
factors that should be considered when purchasing teak furniture to help
guarantee it will last a lifetime
|
1 |
Verify that
the furniture is constructed of 100% premium teak wood or mahogany
wood , original teak and others wood buy from PERHUTANI that do not
provide the longevity and dependability of authentic teak.
|
|
2 |
We recommend
that furniture be purchased from manufacturer's who use only
plantation grown teak, which is reforested and government regulated. |
|
3 |
The presence
of knots, often covered by heavy oiling, is indicative of inferior,
young teak wood and will not be as durable as fully matured teak.
|

Make sure
the construction is completed utilizing proper materials; solid
brass or stainless steel fittings, solid pieces of wood and heavy
weight teak for thick composition. Some manufacturers / retailers
offer a lighter construction of teak furniture at a reduced cost,
but this type of construction does not offer the longevity and
reliability of heavier constructions. Some manufacturers will treat
furniture made of other woods and materials with teak oil. These
manufacturers simply their furniture is actually teak indoor and
outdoor is just as durable, dependable and resistant to insects and
harsh elements as genuine teak furniture is. These claims are false;
while the oil does aid in adding some resistance and durability to
other woods, the oil needs to be re-applied often. Furniture
constructed with teak wood is able to withstand the elements for a
century or more. Especially product for Outdoor Furniture |

Perhaps this
is the most crucial, prior to construction, teak wood must be kiln
dried, not air or sun dried, precisely to an optimal moisture
content of 14 - 20%. This allows the furniture to dry to the core
and eliminates or reduces cracking, splitting, and warping for
decades. |
|
|
It is essential
to not fall in a pit to “teak-like” offers and scams or succumb to lower
priced, but lower quality furniture without first following these few
key considerations; which will assure that your investment brings you
beauty and functionality for generations to come.
