When deciding on what type of wood to use for a customized project, many want a material that will create a sense of elegance and style. Although it is ideal to get the most aesthetically pleasing wood, another aspect to consider before choosing the wood for your project is to ask yourself, “How long will this wood last?” Often, people want to stay within their budget and lean towards less expensive wood because it will get the job done without burning a hole in their pocket. But, what is the point if it is just going to fall apart in a few years? If you want wood that not only looks classic and well put together, but also offers long-lasting results, there are many options to help you to achieve that goal.

LOW MAINTENANCE AND MOISTURE-RESISTANT

The most sensible wood is both low maintenance and highly resistant to moisture, which is particularly important for outside projects such outdoor furniture, decks, and balconies. The best woods for water resistance are hardwoods that have a straight grain and dense woods that prevent moisture from penetrating a structure. Among one of these options is cedar wood. Cedar is insect-resistant because of its natural aromatic scent, which makes it ideal for outdoor furniture, as well as indoor furniture, such as hope chests and dressers. It is also commonly used for closets, saunas, and house siding. Cedar wood projects typically last more than 20 years without splitting, rotting, or warping. White oak and teak are also long lasting woods that are resistant to decay, twisting, cracking, or warping. These low maintenance dense woods have a natural ability to repel moisture, insects, and rotting, which make them an excellent choice when building outdoor wood furniture. Additionally, pressure treated boards such as pine are also options for longer lasting products, especially when it comes to decking, furniture, and pool enclosures. This ubiquitous material is usually less expensive and plentiful at a local lumberyard. Using furniture covers when your outdoor furniture is not in use will protect it from the elements and extend the life of your furniture. If you have questions regarding what materials you should use for your next project or wish to learn more about which wood will provide you with the longest lasting results, let our specialists help.

What were Apache bows made of?

Apache bows are large and very durable, made with mulberry or cedar wood and wrapped in buffalo sinew, the tough fiber that connects muscle to bone. The strings are often made from buffalo skin or gut.

This bow was made by a Jicarilla [hee-kuh-REE-uh] Apache man almost 150 years ago. Apache bows are large and very durable, made with mulberry or cedar wood and wrapped in buffalo sinew, the tough fiber that connects muscle to bone. The strings are often made from buffalo skin or gut. The wood and sinew had to be cut, formed, dyed, dried, and cured. As a result, creating a bow was a complicated process that could take up to 10 days. A skilled bow maker had high status among the Apache people. A Mescalero Apache man made this arrow about 100 years ago. Apache arrows are also large and strong, designed to breach the tough skin of deer and buffalo. The shaft of the arrow is made out of wood. Early on, notched stone arrowheads were lashed onto the shaft with sinew, gut, or rawhide. Arrow makers attached, or fletched, feathers by inserting them into the shaft or sewing them in place with sinew. Over time, Apache men refined the technology of their bows and arrows. They added new materials, like metal for the arrowhead, when they became available through trade with European settlers. Metal arrowheads were easier to shape and more durable than stone ones. By the late nineteenth century, bows and arrows were largely replaced by guns. However, some hunters continued to use them because in many ways they remained a superior weapon for quietly stalking prey. Many hunters, native and non-native, use bows and arrows as hunting tools today.
