Why should I buy furniture made of western red cedar?
Each of Home & Garden Woodworks' outdoor furniture pieces is:
1) Crafted by hand from gorgeous 5/4 western red cedar, chosen for its high aesthetic appeal and long-lasting durability.
2) As one of North America’s great renewable resources, cedar wood is light, naturally durable and the resin is poisonous to insects.
3) Cedar has an extremely high thermal factor, meaning that even in the warmest weather, it is cool to sit in.
It is a preferred wood for the finest garden furniture where attractive appearance and weather resistance are important.
Unfinished cedar has a richly textured grain with colors ranging from mellow ambers, reddish cinnamons and rich sienna browns. Its' warm coloring is complimented by a uniform, fine-grained texture with a satin luster.
It is not uncommon for a properly finished cedar piece to last 100 years! This furniture often becomes family heirlooms, handed down from generation to generation and becoming sought-after prizes, particularly for collectors of Adirondack collector and aficionados.
When you invest in our cedar furniture, rest assured that you are getting the finest craftsmanship available. That fact is reflected in our simple warranty: If, for any reason, your Adirondack furniture does not live up to your expectations, please let us know and we will make it right.
How is your furniture constructed?
Furniture parts are held firmly in place using 1-3/4” stainless steel fasteners and elasticized polyurethane adhesive to keep the furniture rigid and square, even in –40 to 120 degree temperatures.
What maintenance does my furniture require?
Unfinished furniture made of western red cedar has richly textured grain with colors ranging from mellow ambers, reddish cinnamons and rich sienna browns. Its warm coloring is complimented by a uniform, fine-grained texture with a satin luster. If left unfinished, it will age over time, ultimately taking on a silvery gray patina. If treated with stain and brought indoors during the winter months, however, the life of your furniture will increase.
Does my furniture require finishing?
When you purchase furniture from Home & Garden Woodworks, you can order it unfinished, stained or painted. Or you may order it unfinished and finish it yourself in any one of several ways:
1) Oil/varnish combination: This is the easiest to use. Flood liquid onto furniture and wipe off in 10-15 minutes. Touch up as needed.
2) Oil/water-based stain: Utilize a good brand of oil or water-based stain in any color desired. Paint on and wipe off.
3) Paint: First use an acrylic water-based primer followed by a water-based acrylic enamel top coat. If you do not use a primer, the cedar will always “bleed through” the top coat.
When ordering, what does the "Kit" option mean?
When ordering a kit, you will receive cedar wood pieces, cut to size and ready for sanding/finishing and assembly, plus hardware, glue and instructions so you can experience the joy and satisfaction of building a piece of our furniture.
