The Art Of Joinery - Devil In The Details

An expert joiner was once asked why bespoke joinery was important when creating elements of a home - why a joiner rather than a carpenter who could do the job for a lot less money. The answer to that question is quite telling - "would you ask a decorator to paint you a masterpiece?" Was the reply. It is the difference between getting a piece of work that might do the job, but wouldn't be anything you'd want to display. When it comes to certain structures throughout your home, joinery just makes sense if you want to add style and beauty.

A great example of the difference between carpentry and joinery is the construction of a roof. With a carpenter, you would get a practical and functional roof that you would then cover over with wallboard or sheetrock and paint. With a joiner, you would get a gorgeous worked-wood roof that would be displayed without any covering for the beauty of the work itself. The same concept holds true for bespoke staircases. Normal construction can put in a staircase, even a wood one, and it would definitely be something you could live with and use with impunity. A staircase built with joinery would be just as practical and functional, but it would end up a conversation piece for anyone who sees it. This is a definite and distinct difference in building philosophy.

Staircases, cabinetry, storage, furniture, windows and doors are all avenues of creativity for the use of joinery. An expert joiner can listen to the home owner, measure the area to be added to, understand the goal of the home owner and then work up a plan to craft the desired piece according to the owner's wishes. Once the piece is done, the home owner will have something that has added immeasurable value to their home while being practical and usable at the same time.

With joinery, windows can have custom casements, window seats and trim that can't be produced by other means. Staircases can be straight, curved or angled with customized rails that work in concert with the other design elements of the house. Doorways can become more than a way to get from room to room if joinery is used to frame and finish them. Kitchens are prime ground for joinery with custom cabinets and woodwork to highlight architectural details or add function. Built-in furniture such as a drop-leaf desk combined with a bookcase to create an instant and disguised office space or storage cabinets disguised as additional seating provide fertile ground for bespoke joinery.
