Picking up Furniture

When you've finally taken the leap and decided to purchase a beautiful piece of furniture you want to be certain that you can take it home without bringing harm to the heirloom piece.  The best idea is to bring lots of blankets or stop by a store and pick up some moving blankets.

Yes, it is possible to use cardboard or Shrink Wrap, (you know that plastic wrap ) but when it comes down to it a layer of plastic in between a piece of furniture and the back of your truck isn't the best. If you know you are picking up furniture, play it safe - it never hurts to have extra blankets.

If you don't think you have enough blankets and you don't want to purchase any try these soft items.

• old quilts
• sleeping bags
• towels

We will heave a sigh of relief when we see your trunk or truck bed supplied with blankets.

Quartersawn Wood

On the wood species and stain sample wall we have Oak, Maple, Rustic Cherry, and QSWO.

Those last four letters often get a raised eyebrow, and most people aren't sure what QSWO is.

Hopefully, this will clear it up for you.

QSWO stands for Quarter Sawn White Oak.

Quarter Sawn wood is milled from the same type of log that typical white oak comes from it's just milled in a different fashion to obtain a different grain and more dense wood.

This particular milling provides the beautiful small grain in the wood that is often seen on well made antique furniture.
