Making Furniture
The beginner needs to realize that the difference between an amateur-looking furniture and a professional job, though important, is very small.
Often it is merely a matter of a piece of moulding or a corner brace, or a little extra sanding of the end grain.
In making a simple bedside lampstand and bookcase, for example, the tyro probably would be content with finishing everything off flush, and running the sides down to form feet. The professional, on the other hand, would give the top a slight overhang and form a simple thumb moulding on three edges.
He would certainly enclose the space below the bottom shelf, and perhaps cut the skirt into a decorative shape. This base would have the effect of giving four feet to the cabinet, and allow it to stand more firmly on the floor.
The difference between the two jobs therefore would not be one of extra skill on the part of the professional, but of a practical application of a knowledge of design and the way these things are usually done for the best results.
The closed-in base, as can readily be seen, is better from every standpoint. It shuts off a space that would collect dust yet be too low to permit of its being swept out. Thus for very little extra expenditure of labor and material a much more impressive and expensive-looking job results.
This principle can be extended to all kinds of furniture and cabinet-making jobs, including the selection of tools and the care they receive after they have been acquired. The professional gets the best tools he can afford, and buys at the same time

Wood Selection.
The identification and selection of woods for use in the cabinet shop is not a subject that can easily be learned from books.
Colored illustrations would help, but you need to become acquainted with woods by actually handling them, and having someone, expert on the subject, identify them for you.
Frequent visits to the furniture-wood dealers is a great help in this respect because you can see the different varieties side by side ard know exactly what you are looking at. Here we shall have to be content with brief descriptions.
It does help to have on hand a reliable book on woods for reference, or even a dealer's illustrated catalog. One reason is that many of the furniture woods have several names and even local appellations.
There are about fifty kinds of wood called mahogany, and even four or five known as white-wood. An outstanding example of confused nomenclature is Douglas fir which is known as Oregon pine and is neither fir nor pine but a species all its own.
