Furniture can be a product of design and is considered a form of decorative art in addition to being used in a functional role.
The practice of using natural objects as rudimentary pieces of furniture likely dates to the beginning of human civilization. Early humans are likely to have used tree stumps as seats, rocks as rudimentary tables, and mossy areas for sleeping and even as we have evolved, furniture has been at the very heart of our civilization, being made from the same natural resources. Wood is my choice of material as it offers so much diversity and aesthetic appeal.
All different types of woods have unique signature marks that can help in easy identification of the type. Both hardwoods and softwoods are used in furniture making, and each has its own specific uses.
Common softwoods used include pine, cedar and yew. Higher quality furniture tends to be made out of hardwood, including oak, maple, mahogany, teak, walnut, cherry and birch.
