Most individuals associate the word “handmade” with “high quality” as we’ve come to respect items that still have a human’s touch in the manufacturing process. Ironically. this is generally the opposite when it comes to teak furniture, and pieces that are handmade are generally of a lower quality that those that are made with the use of machines.
Making a piece of furniture by hand is a painstaking process that is nearly impossible. to replicate exactly each time. As most teak fumiture is sold in sets, having four or six handmade chairs means having a set of chairs that are different in many ways. Modern furniture is designed with precise dimensions in mind, and without the use of machines producing furniture to these exacting standards is very difficult.
Experienced carvers will obtain raw teak from local sellers, and turn this teak into chairs, tables, benches, and other furniture. These carvers will use hand saws, planes, and other tools to manipulate and shape the raw teak into the pieces that form the finished product. Once the carving, sanding, and finishing are complete, the teak furniture will be left outside to dry. Teok unfortunately does not dry well in humid conditions such as those found in Southeast Asia, which is another reason that handmade teak furniture pieces are of a lower quality than machine-mode pieces, which would be dried in a kiln. The next process is finishing. Finishing is the last process of layering the wood surface to make it beautiful and protect the furniture from insect attack or moisture air.
