So, you need to arrange giving. There is no wish to fill up the vacation spot with variegated second-hand articles from the city apartment … and qualitative new furniture costs expensive. But there is one more way - to make it with own hands from tree.
Wood for country furniture
If have conceived to make country furniture, you do not hurry to go to shop of building materials. At first look what you already have. Residues of wood building materials after construction or repair can fit. Also the dead wood which is cut down at the dacha is quite often useful. And then already estimate that else will be required to be bought.
Anyway, surely pay attention to wood grade. Especially if you are going to make table, the shop, bed or other furniture experiencing constant mechanical load. Usually use such breeds:
- Strong wood of this tree is not afraid of moisture therefore it perfectly is suitable also for house, and garden furniture. It is quietly possible to do any furniture which is actively used of it.
- Inexpensive wood, soft and easy in work, but strong. On board surface smooth lines of annual growth rings and traces of knots accurately appear that does exterior of things of pine unique. It suits practically for any furniture. Including garden - because of tar content the pine is decay-resistant. But you should not do pine products for bath - in the warmed room the board "will begin to cry".
- Ash-tree. Hardwood with very beautiful texture created by annual growth rings. Durability is comparable with oak. At the dacha it is practically possible to do of ash-tree everything.
- It is quite strong, at the same time well gives in to processing. But badly transfers temperature differences therefore is not suitable for garden furniture. But it is possible to do home decoration for country house of it. Beautifully decorative elements from birch with birch bark look.
- Very solid, "eternal" wood which is not so simple for processing. Therefore if you have no sufficient experience, then do not undertake production of oak furniture.
- Wood of fruit trees. It is easily processed, possesses in beautiful color on cut. But it is fragile therefore will not be suitable for chairs, tables and other furniture of continuous use. But perfectly is suitable for production of decor.
What to make: ideas
What is necessary at any dacha for good rest? First, strong and reliable table, benches and stools which can be put on terrace or in garden.
If on the seasonal dacha it was necessary to cut down tree, then it can become material for such furniture. So, the range or pack of large diameter is almost ready stool. Log narrower - material for table legs. Naturally, fresh wood should be dried at first long but only then to make of it furniture.
The simple option for country stool is to make it in the form of the square or rectangular box inverted upside down. Bars and boards will be necessary for it. And to be located on such stool it was comfortable, ask the hostess to sew simple pillows for sitting.
Higher do original underframes of "boxes". From above establish table-top. The most popular country option - board from nailed together boards or the stuck together bars. Longitudinal or cross - depends on your desire and the sizes of table.
Self-made wardrobes, shelves for dishes and different trifles look stylish and are practical in use. The simplest option - timber frame construction with internal regiments, but without back wall and without facades.
And if at you enough joiner's skills, then why not to make also furniture for dream - bed or ottoman? The orthopedic basis and mattress should be bought in furniture store, and here to hammer together framework and headboard most of boards.
As headboard in country interior the board board perfectly looks. If you love symmetry, take equal boards and beat to sshivny level closely or strictly in parallel each other with intervals of the identical size. If board uneven at the edges, then it is possible to leave them as is (the main thing, to remove jags). Such deliberately rough work gives to furniture brutal look.
Decorative elements from tree will help to emphasize "natural" interior of giving. So, with beautiful annual rings do wall panels of round saw cuts. Place saw cuts on wall one by one, groups or continuous carpet - as you consider beautiful.
Still do interesting shelves for trifles of saw cuts. For the basis take the croaker or bar on which do grooves on thickness of saw cuts. The last are inserted into these grooves and fixed by means of epoxy resin.
That wooden country furniture served long, its surface needs to be protected. Practical option – paint, but it hides beauty of natural wood. Therefore it is better to prefer covering varnish, azure dye, special oils or wax for tree.
