Teak Wood Outdoor Furniture - King of the Forest, and the Garden!

If you are considering wood for your outdoor space, then teak wood outdoor furniture should be on your list. It has been used for centuries in the marine industry because there is hands down no other wood that performs as well. It is a dense, close grained hardwood, high in natural oil content. It resists rotting-even when untreated and is almost impervious to the effects of rain, snow, sun, and frost.

Side Tables Wood

As demand has risen for this valuable wood, unfortunately, so have unscrupulous practices in logging. With this knowledge, it becomes important as a consumer to evaluate options based not only on features of the furniture but is the wood coming from responsible sources? Are they adhering to practices that will ensure a future for this beautiful commodity? And of course is the quality the best value for your dollars?

Side Tables Wood

Fortunately, what I have found in my experience, there is a fairly easy way to navigate through the thousands of choices to find the best, most responsible teak wood outdoor furniture brands who are providing end products of superior quality while maintaining a standard of conduct acceptable to protect the industry. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is considered the most inclusive and strict organization formed to protect teak forests. Because logging takes place in many different countries, finding a way to regulate worldwide is crucial. The FSC has done an excellent job of setting the standard for logging practices. Teak grown on plantations which require replacing what is taken will ensure that there is always renewal of this valuable commodity.

Another important agency worth noting is the FEQ (First European Quality) designation. It ensures the buyer that the teak being used is true tectona grandis, the finest species. It also ensures that the pieces selected are the best within that species. There are many fine large companies that own their own plantations, hand-select only the finest pieces, and adhere to all of these practices voluntarily but these two designations are particularly useful in determining the credibility of smaller, equally acceptable sources.

Once it has been established that the wood comes from reputable sources, there a few key considerations that will lead you toward choosing teak outdoor furniture that will provide you with many years of enjoyment. Kiln-dried wood is important for close-fitting joints and assures stability of the finished piece. Marine quality stainless steel hardware is best to avoid corrosion after outdoor exposure. Design features discussed on the general page about wood garden furniture will be particularly useful in your search for teak wood outdoor furniture.

Look for FSC designation when considering your teak wood outdoor furniture purchase. If you do not see it displayed, ask questions. Is the teak plantation grown? What efforts has the company made to ensure your comfort level in purchasing? Chances are the best quality furniture is coming from the companies with the most socially responsible practices. As a consumer, be selective, ask questions, and help preserve this king of the forest for future generations.

Picnic Tables Offer Outdoor Family Fun

What could be more charming than looking out into a backyard and seeing a wooden picnic table out there, covered in a red and white checked cloth? Picnic tables are the backyard accessory that just won't go out of style, and for good reason. After all, without your wooden picnic table, where would you gather with family and neighbors to enjoy time together during those impromptu neighborhood barbeques, and where could sit around with your friends and enjoy the nice weather while keeping an eye on the kids running back and forth across the yard? A picnic table may not actually add property value to your home in dollars and cents, but it adds sentimental value and togetherness time that can't be quantified in cold, hard cash.

Side Tables Wood

The design of picnic tables has not changed much over the years. The standard table is made of some kind of wood - either natural pine wood or wood that is stained a deep red. The table top is made up of two or three long planks of wood, depending on how deep the table is. Benches line each side of the table for side by side seating. The average picnic table seats three or four on each side - more if the sitters are kids. Of course, you can find longer and shorter picnic tables, including ones that are designed for private meals - picnic tables built for two.

Side Tables Wood

If you want a wooden table like a picnic table, there are a few different ways you can get one. First of all, you can simply buy one from a shop. Home improvement stores, hardware stores and even some department stores all sell picnic tables that are ready to be transferred to your backyard and put to use that night. Of course, if you are the handy sort and want to save a little cash, you can build your own picnic table.

Building your own picnic table isn't the most challenging project around, but it is not for beginners, either. You'll need to secure the wood, measure it and cut it, sand it down to get rid of those splinters, stain and seal it to protect it from the elements, and then of course assemble the table. There are tons of plans online for building all different kinds of picnic tables, and there are also lots of books you can get in the library to guide you through the process.

Wine Rack Console Table - Classy Decor

There is nothing like having a dual purpose piece of furniture. Not only do you have a great looking furniture piece, but one that also performs multiple functions. For a home that may be limited in space, this feature becomes extremely important. When it can also provide a classy décor touch, it becomes style. These are the features that a wine rack console table can bring to a home.

Side Tables Wood

From the standpoint of one who enjoys entertaining, a furniture piece that has multiple functions becomes a necessity. The ability to use a table as both a serving area and a display area, for example, can change a room from a comfortable showplace to an exciting party atmosphere. When an added feature such as a wine rack is included, the uses for the table double. It is now both functional and attractive, as wine bottles on display are often used as decorative pieces until it's time to pop them open.

Side Tables Wood

The wine rack console table is, basically, just as it sounds: a console table with a wine rack underneath. Crafted from a variety of wood types, these tables can be quite plain in appearance or beautifully ornate to become a focal piece of the room. A series of ladder racks reside underneath the tabletop on which bottles of your favorite wine are able to rest. Some wine rack console tables offer a single ladder rack, while others may offer two or even three, providing ample room to store over 30 bottles of wine.

For everyday use, taller console tables may be ideal for use in the kitchen or dining area; a beautiful accenting furniture piece that may display some of your favorite dishes, or perhaps a lovely piece of artwork. Your bottles of wine stored on the racks allow both display and storage benefits. Shorter profile wine rack console tables can be used for sofa tables in the family room; a place where interesting coffee table books or perhaps a color-coordinated flower filled vase may reside over the neatly stacked wine bottles underneath.

When it is time for entertaining, though, both of these table types can be instantly transformed. The taller wine rack console table becomes a lovely server for the wine, with sparkling stemware lined up on the tabletop while a few open wine bottles "breathe" before serving. Remaining bottles await below for their turn to take front and center. In the family room, the shorter console may be filled with a delicious selection of snacks and hors d'oeuvres for hungry guests to partake. Through it all, your favorite vintages are displayed below, providing a conversation topic among guests and a lovely display.

Whether your wine rack console table is part of your kitchen, dining area or family room décor, it is sure to add a touch of class to your home. And the ability of these lovely tables to do double duty, going from everyday to entertainment mode, functional while attractive, makes them an invaluable part of your home furnishing décor.

Drawer Pulls - A Great Way To Revamp The Look Of Your End Tables

The end tables in your living room are starting to look boring to you, even a slight on the unattractive side. The problem is, you do not have the money to go out and purchase new ones because you just got these a few months ago. Not to worry, there is a way to change up the look of those end tables if they have drawers. All you have to do is purchase new drawer pulls for them.

Side Tables Wood

Really, changing up the appearance your end tables is that easy and you can give them any kind of look and feel that you want because there are a wide variety of drawer pulls that are available. For example, maybe your end tables have modern styling. They are made out of wood and have a rich, deep espresso finish, but the pulls that are on them just seem to blend in with the piece because they too are made from the same wood material and have the same finish.

Side Tables Wood

Well, a great option for replacing them would be with ones crafted out of stainless steel that smooth, curving design to them and a brushed finish. They would complement your modern end tables well and would really give them a fresh, new look. Or, maybe your end tables are more on the antique side, but the pulls on them are not antique enough, then a great option for you would be ones made from bronze metal that have an oil rubbed finish and have an ornamental, bending design that also features lovely scrollwork.

The thing is, with drawer pulls, there are just so many selections out there and the two just mentioned are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the thousands that are offered by manufacturers. They can be crafted from all sorts of items, including other metals like aluminum, brass, and copper along with other materials including wood, glass, ceramic, porcelain, and plastic. Each is also available in different colors and finishes, like glass ones in amber , wood ones in a like cherry and you can get porcelain ones that feature hand painted designs. Plus, they come in all shapes and sizes, perfect for all different sized end tables.

What is great about all the options is that you can easily find something to match the end tables in your space. You can also spruce up the look of other furnishings that have drawers as well with them. And, for a fast and hassle free way to check out all the available selections, just hit the Internet and browse the online retail stores instead of heading to your local hardware store.

So, if you are looking for a way to revamp the look of the end tables in your space, a fantastic way to do it is with new drawer pulls. These small indoor fixtures carry a big decorative punch and are great way to get the job done without cleaning out your pocket book.

3 Features to Consider in the Best Portable Table Saw

How do you know which portable table saw to buy? Well, you need to look at each saw's accuracy, motor/mount system, and portability and then match those features' levels with your level of need. Do you intend to use the portable table saw at several job sites or will it probably stay in your shop most of the time? Is it going to be used heavily or only occasionally for your hobby? Mainly, you should consider the table and fence set up, the motor and blade mounting system, and any accessories.

Side Tables Wood

Set Up of Table and Fence

Side Tables Wood

The table and fence will affect the accuracy of your cuts. A fence and guide rail that extends beyond the table will allow wider accurate cuts.

DeWalt's DW744 model has a large table with a fence and rail that supports a 24 1/2- inch rip cut. The table can extend on a cogwheel and tooth-track system that adjusts the fence, which locks at the rails' ends.

Both Bosch and Ridgid make a portable table saw that has an extendable table that pulls out with the rails to increase the width of the cut. Ridgid's saws are made only for Home Depot. Bosch's portable table saw has aluminum rails that are less likely to flex under heavy plywood, but Ridgid's rails are even sturdier.

Ryobi's BT3000SX is the only table saw that has a wider cutting capacity at a 33-inch width. This portable table saw pushes the term portable because its extendable fence, sliding miter table, and quick-change inserts all add considerable weight to the overall unit.

Two other heavy portable table saws include the Jet and Hitachi products. The Jet has a cast iron table and double extensions making it too heavy to easily move, especially if you have to go up stairs or lift it up into a truck. However, it is wide enough to rip plywood in half. The Hitachi C10RA2 has a table made of cast aluminum, but the unit has a steel jacket which makes it too heavy for one person to move even if it is not bolted to its stand that is made of steel.

Delta, Powermatic, and Skil all offer bench saws that are small and lightweight for easy moving while providing a price tag of almost half of the larger portable table saws. Delta and Skil both come with a cast aluminum table and cam-locking fences, while Powermatic has a larger, brushed-aluminum table that has two accurate extensions. However, these three will not be able to compete with the workload of the larger saws.

Motors and Mounting

The way the motor and blade is mounted is an important feature on portable table saws.

The smaller bench table saws mount the motor on a single side bracket. This system then pivots in order to raise or lower the blade. This system can ruin a cut by deflecting, or it can bind the blade if it has to cut a heavy load.

The bigger portable table saws use guide rods or symmetrical tracks to adjust the blade. If left straight, this system reduces vibration of the blade and motor allowing more accurate cuts. However, if the angle is adjusted, the vibration returns.

Improving on this blade/motor carriage, Makiti and Ridgid portable table saws use a tooth and cog adjuster on their height adjuster wheel.

Ryobi and Hitachi both have a push/pull hand-wheel adjuster. However, Hitachi uses plastic gears and track, so its durability may be compromised.

The Jet portable table saw has the best blade/motor mount system with a heavy gear-screw system on two separate hand-wheels: one for height and one for angles. This does make it heavier, but more accurate.

Accessories

The accessories are evaluated for just how portable they make the portable table saw.

Makita has a way to increase the width of cuts to 49 inches with its accessory stand. However, the stand is bulky and adds to the time it takes to set up.

Although Ryobi offers a steel cart with an extension table, these are mainly useful for shop use only because they detract from it portability to different sites.

The universal stand with legs and bolts is offered with Jet, Delta, Skil, Hitachi, Makita and Powermatic. The weight of this steel stand detracts from the portability of these brands.

The easiest stands to move and set up are found on DeWalt, Bosch, and Ridgid portable table saws. Bosch and DeWalt have stands that pop open and fold flat in one easy movement. However, the legs do not adjust for uneven footing. Ridgid improves portability by using a stand that folds into a hand truck to move both the stand and the saw.

Overall

DeWalt, Bosch, and Ridgid stand out as the best when looking at portability and useful features. They offer the largest cutting widths, most durable motor/blade mounting systems and easy portability for use on several job sites. However, they may be more than you need and more than you can afford. If you need accurate cuts at a cheaper price, you can still get good quality cuts from Makita or Hitachi at a much more affordable prices. And, if you are the occasional wood worker that does not travel or need professional results, the least expensive bench models may be the way to go for you. Each portable table saw reviewed has its positives and negatives depending on your particular wood cutting needs.
