No. No. Woodworking isn't rocket science. Anyone can learn how to use basic power tools and techniques to create beautiful works of art.
What wooden items do you sell well?
Most wooden items that are best-sellers are made from wood harvested sustainably.
Maple, cherry, mahogany walnut, teak, mahogany and maple are the most common woods for furniture.
These woods are strong and durable, with beautiful grain patterns. They can also last for years if they are properly cared for.

How To
How to stain wood
Stain wood is a process that involves applying chemicals to the surface of wood, which changes its color. This chemical reaction causes the wood color to change from white and brownish red. Oak is the most common wood type for staining. However, you can also use other wood types.
There are many methods to apply stain to wood surfaces. Some methods involve mixing the stain with a solvent (such as turpentine) and then brushing or spraying the mixture onto the wood. Some methods involve a mixture of water and dye that is applied directly to the wood. You can mix stains into varnishes or paints to make them part of your finish coat.
Preparing the surface is the most important step in staining wooden surfaces. You must clean the wood well to remove any grease or dirt that might interfere with the application of the stain. Sanding can smoothen out scratches and uneven spots. The next step is to choose the stain type you want. There are two types of stains that can be used: penetrating and non-penetrating. Penetrating stains penetrate deeper than non-penetrating stains, which makes them great for dark colors like mahogany. Penetrating stains are best paired with lighter colors, such as maple.
Once you have decided on the stain type that you want, get your tools ready. The best tool for applying stains is a paintbrush. It allows you to evenly distribute the liquid over the surface. A few rags are also handy to clean up any spillages after you have finished painting. If you intend to mix the stain yourself you will need enough containers to hold all the components.
After you have prepared your materials, clean the area you intend to stain. To remove dirt and dust, use warm water and soap. Use a dampened rag and clean water to wipe the furniture. Take care to remove all debris and dirt, especially if you are planning on staining darker wood.
Apply the stain. Apply the stain by brushing or spraying it onto one side of the furniture. Slowly and carefully work your way along the grain to reach the opposite end. Make sure that the stain does not drip off the edge of the wood. Let the stain dry completely before proceeding with the next steps.
Protect the painted surface with a coat polyurethane paint sealant. Apply three coats polyurethane sealer. Allow the third coat, which should dry overnight, to dry before sanding.
