Like all organic materials, pine has
its own character and quirks responding to the environment, and will
change over time. Pine should be treated with understanding and a
certain amount of care. For wood professionals, knowing about wood
properties, as well as individual species, is critical for use
intentions. For consumers, it's important to have realistic
expectations about how wood will perform, and what it will take for
it to last the longest.
The information
concerning wood species and their properties are those generally
accepted descriptions. Wood is a natural material subject to many
variations in color, dimensional stability, grain, and hardness. No
description is able to encompass all possible variations. The characteristics
of southern yellow pine make it an ideal wood to use for my chairs.
When ordering your chair in
untreated southern yellow pine, keep in mind that your going to have
to have the chairs painted before they can be used outside.
It's imperative that a treatment process be completed before these
chairs spend even one day in inclement weather. Once untreated pine
gets wet, it will dry to completely different form.
My chairs are built with the
highest quality in mind. The chairs are sold with the intention that
they will be cared for so that they'll last to our expected life
estimations. Like anything else, if you don't take even simple care
of it, it won't last very long. When even the slightest care is
taken, it will increase the life of my chairs a great deal.
The untreated yellow
pine will come as a distinct yellow tone. This is widely different
that it's treated counterpart. The texture of the wood is a very
fine finish that is 100% ready for any finish you wish to use.
If you have any
question as to which wood to use for your project, please give me a
