To prepare the wood for crafting into furniture, we carefully dry the wood to reduce the moisture content to a level which allows it to acclimate to the average relative humidity in most homes.
Exposure to extreme temperature variations can damage any fine wood pieces, including variations caused by humidifiers, fireplaces or space heaters.
During humid weather, wood drawer fronts may swell and become difficult to open and close.
Although we engineer the tolerances to allow for normal expansion, extreme conditions may cause drawers to stick.
Dispense the polish onto a clean, white, lint-free cloth, preferably of natural fiber such as cotton.
ED03 20th C Background info
The exhibition 20th Century Style: Furniture showcases selected examples of International, Australian and South Australian furniture.
The twentieth century witnessed massive political, social and technological changes, which irrevocably altered the design and manufacture of furniture.
Architects, artists, commercial designers and designer--makers increasingly developed designs for furniture from the new materials and technologies that were available to them in the twentieth century.
More than any other form, the chair became a potent symbol of modernism, in some cases attaining the status of 'classic' and ensuring its place as furniture's greatest legacy of the twentieth century.
Europe in the mid-nineteen twenties witnessed the single largest revolution in chair design, when tubular steel was used to create the cantilever chair with its two supports.

The European Union's furniture imports are increasing rapidly.
Over the last several years, capital investment has been flowing into countries with lower labor costs, where furniture and furniture parts are manufactured and exported back to the European Union.
However, globalization in the furniture industry has become a fact of life, presenting opportunities and challenges for the U.S. wood products industry.
In particular, U.S. lumber and veneer exporters need to be aware of the trends, and prepare to supply manufacturers wherever they may be located.
While U.S. hardwood exports have experienced phenomenal growth to China3 and other countries in Southeast Asia, there remains the ever-present danger that locally available species may eventually be substituted for American hardwoods, particularly as consumer tastes and trends change.

The character of furniture design changes and grows along with shifts in culture; technology has changed the design process and new materials have widened the artist's palette.
Through research and practice, students explore the spectrum of concept, physical need and aesthetic perspective.
The emphasis in the sophomore year is on gaining technical competency with a range of materials and their applications, as well as processes for evolving concepts through designing models and built pieces.
The graduate program focuses on the student's artistic development and design philosophy through the construction of furniture and related objects.
Since the program is based in the wood studio, advanced woodworking skills are expected.
