Kitchen facades made of natural wood are durable, beautiful, serve for many years and do not emit harmful formaldehyde at all. Craftsmen can try to make kitchens from natural wood on their own, saving a lot of money. If you have the necessary tools and a little time, then you should try to do this business. You will not only spend much less money than when buying a ready-made headset, but also get a quality and durable thing that will also serve your grandchildren.
How to make furniture for kitchen from wood?
- To produce such furniture, you can take both ordinary boards, and glued or pressed wooden shields. The latter material withstands sufficiently high loads, and serves no less well than solid wood. During operation, boards may crack or deform. When gluing, the natural tension is removed, the kitchen countertop made of such a shield can serve much better than a conventional tree. Only necessarily treat it in several layers with polyurethane varnish. Then your countertop will be on the fortress no worse than plastic. Bearing structures are preferably made of hardwoods - oak, elm, walnut, ash, beech, etc. And for the production of decorative elements it is allowed to use a tree of softer species - cherry, pine, spruce, fir, etc.
- Draw an approximate drawing, choosing the form most suitable for you. The design of the kitchen, regardless of whether the wood went to it as a material, chipboard or plastic, largely depends on the size of the room. Determine where you will have a sink, a food storage box, a gas stove, and a refrigerator. Be sure to consider communications (gas, sewerage, water supply).
- A metal sink is better to buy in the store. At home, it is perhaps more difficult to carry out a product of such a complex configuration.
- When the drawing is there and the materials are already at home, you can start working. With the help of a hacksaw, a circular saw or a jig saw, we spread the beam and boards onto the blanks.
- Facades of kitchen from a tree:
- facades can be paneled or made of a single leaf. In the first case, this is just one detail. As a decoration, the use of a "false panel" is allowed here. In the second case, you will need to make at least five parts. This is much more complicated, but this facade will not change as a result of the possible swelling of the wood;
- drill holes for loops;
- rounding of sharp edges and different samples are made using a hand-held router;
- the received product is painted with acrylic or other paint, we clean out fine dust with emery cloth with fine grain;
- the painted surface is polished;
- The main thing in polishing is not to burn the paint, so as not to spoil the part;
- We replace the foam rubber circle with a fur coat and make sure that the facade is as glossy as possible.
