Drought level of Wood Determining of Furniture Quality

Quality wood furniture is determined by the level of moisture contained in the wood used. The more the wood is dry, then the resulting furniture will be more qualified. Therefore, wood moisture content is too high can lead to changes in the form of goods when it is created.

The changes are usually curved, shrink or even crack and break. For example, in the rainy season, maybe you have had your house door being difficult to open and close, or sounds. That's because the door shrinkage (slightly curved) so that the door had been fitted with sills and floor, when the rainy season comes so no flashlight (not fitted) again with the floor and the door frame, the door creaked and finished hard-lid open. Or another example of big chunks of furniture such as the dining table.That you also may have experienced as well. Table that was straight and flat gradually become curved so that the pair of glass on it to shake (not fit anymore). This means that the wood on the table to change the form of the curve. And it is definitely a timber that is used when making both items still have a high moisture content or still too wet. That's just an example of the two types of furniture are classified as indoor furniture (inside the house), what if the wet wood used for outdoor furniture directly related to weather such as heat and rain?

Good wood used to make furniture is dry wood (which has a low water content), the level of dryness below 15% (to know it can be tested with a moisture content of wood test device). If it is met, the risk is likely to shape the wood furniture or change very little even directly related to the weather, so the timber or the goods may remain stable condition and its use can be uncomfortable and difficult.

However, it may be a little difficult to find wood that is completely dry (below 15%). For there is a lot of (very few) that provide wood furniture is completely dry. Of a few, usually wood is completely dry can be obtained or found on furniture that used to do furniture-outdoor furniture or furniture exports whose first priority is the end result of good quality export standards.

Why is dry (below 15%) are hard to find?

There are some fundamental things that make the dry wood is difficult to find and there is only a small part of furniture.

First : The drying process takes a long time. So many people are reluctant to dry the wood to that extent, because they have to quickly process the wood into furniture for faster product sold.

Second : high drying costs. Costs for drying (mengoven) wood is so high that many people think back to the wood mengoven because most market demand always low prices, probably only a handful of consumers are willing to pay a premium (balanced with the cost of the oven).

Third : the oven must be in large quantities. It is related to the cost of production, because if the wood oven then the cost will be slightly swollen. So to mengoven there must be a lot of wood stock. If the order or orders a lot, it may not matter but if the order quiet (only 1-2 pcs) could grimace becomes.
