<div><br> <b>The scarf joint in woodworking, there are two distinctly different categories of scarf, based on whether the joint has interlocking faces or not.</b> A plain scarf is simply two flat planes meeting on an angle relative to the axis of the stock being joined, and depends entirely on adhesive and/or mechanical fastening (screws, bolts, etc.) for all strength.  Structured scarf joint includes  hooked, keyed, and nibbed scarfs and are some of the many example of interlocking scarfs, offering varying degrees of tensile and compressive strength, though most still depend on mechanical fastening to keep the joint closed.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>A splice joint is a method of joining two members end to end in woodworking.</b> The splice joint is used when the material being joined is not available in the length required. It is an alternative to other joints such as the butt joint and the scarf joint. Splice joints are stronger than unreinforced butt joints and have the potential to be stronger than a scarf joint. They are more visible than a scarf joint but may be preferred when more strength is required.</div> </br>


<left><img src="/images/Splice.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>Splices are therefore most often used when structural elements are required in longer lengths than the available material.</b> The most common form of the splice joint is the half lap splice, which is common in building construction, where it is used to join shorter lengths of timber into longer beams. The splice joint should never be used in quality furniture or door building.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Mortise and tenon, simple and strong- The mortise and tenon joint has been used for thousands of years by woodworkers around the world to join pieces of wood, usually when the pieces are at an angle close to 90Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â°. </b>Although there are many variations on the theme, the basic idea is that the end of one of the members is inserted into a hole cut in the other member. The end of the first member is called the tenon, and it is usually narrowed with respect to the rest of the piece. The hole in the second member is called the mortise. The joint may be glued, pinned, or wedged to lock it in place. This joint is also used with other materials and, for example, is a traditional method for Stonemasons and Blacksmiths.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Pinner-Corner-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>A mortise is a cavity cut into a timber to receive a tenon.</b> There are several kinds of mortises.

<div><br> <b>Open mortise</b> - A mortise that has only three sides. (See Bridle joint).</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Stub mortise or "suicide" joint</b> - A shallow mortise, depth depends on the size of the timber; also a mortise that does not go through the work-piece (as opposed to a "through mortise"). the back is wider, or taller, than the front, or opening. The space for the wedge initially allows room for the tenon to be inserted, the presence of the wedge, after the tenon has been engaged, prevents its withdrawal. Sometimes called a "suicide" joint - since it is strictly a "one way trip".</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Stub-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Through wedged half-dovetail </b>- A wedged half-dovetail mortise that passes entirely through the piece.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>A tenon is a projection on the end of a timber for insertion into a mortise. </b>Usually the tenon is taller than it is wide. There are several kinds of tenons.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Stub tenon </b>- A short tenon; depth depends on the size of the timber; also a tenon that is shorter than the width of the mortised piece so the tenon does not show (as opposed to a "through tenon").</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Tusk tenon </b>- A kind of mortise and tenon joint that uses a wedge-shaped key to hold the joint together.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Through tenon</b> - A tenon that passes entirely through the piece of wood it is inserted into, being clearly visible on the back side.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Wedge-Tenon-Joint.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Teasel tenon</b> - A term used for the tenon on top of a jowled or gunstock post, which is typically received by the mortise in the underside of a tie beam. A common element of the English tying joint.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Top tenon </b>- The tenon that occurs on top of a post.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Feather-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Feather tenon </b>- A round-shouldered machined fillet or feather which is glued into a machine (router) made slot or mortise on each side of the joint.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Haunched-Tenon.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Generally the size of the mortise and tenon is related to the thickness of the timbers.</b> It is considered good practice to proportion the tenon as 1/3rd the thickness of the rail, or as close to this as is practical. The haunch, the cut away part of a sash corner joint that prevents the tenon coming loose, is one third the length of the tenon and one sixth of the width of the tenon in its depth. The remaining two-thirds of the rail, the tenon shoulders help to counteract lateral forces that might tweak the tenon from the mortise, contributing to its strength. These also serve to hide imperfections in the opening of the mortise.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Finger Joint - Box Joint - Comb Joint </b></div id="red16"></div></center>




<div><br> <b>The finger joint - (Also known as "box joint" or "comb joint") is made by cutting a set of complementary rectangular cuts in two pieces of wood, which are then glued.</b> To visualize a finger joint simply interlock the fingers of your hands at a ninety degree angle; hence the name "finger joint." It is stronger than a butt or lap joint, and often forms part of the overall look of the piece.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Boxjoint.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The history of the finger joint is believed to have begun with wooden produce boxes or crates in the days before modern, man-made materials.</b> Finger joints were originally cut by hand with saws and sharp chisels. In modern times they are easily and quickly made with a table saw or router and a jig or fixture, which can be shop-made or purchased from a specialty woodworking supply store. A finger joint jig typically consists of a moving fence with an indexing pin that is used to evenly space out the cuts. The fence is moved over a cutting blade making a cut that is then moved over the indexing pin so the next cut can be made.</div> </br>


<div><br> <b>The strength of a finger joint comes from the long-grain to long-grain contact between the fingers, which provides a solid gluing surface.</b> The number of contact points also allows for more gluing surface as opposed to a butt joint or a rabbet joint.</div> </br>


<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>The Dovetail Joint Pre Dates Written History As Shown On This Romanian Church</b></div id="red14"></div></center>


<div><br> <b>A dovetail joint or simply dovetail is a joint technique most commonly used in woodworking joinery.</b> Noted for its resistance to being pulled apart (tensile strength), the dovetail joint is commonly used to join for example the sides of a drawer to the front. A series of pins cut to extend from the end of one board interlock with a series of tails cut into the end of another board. The pins and tails have a trapezoidal shape. Once glued, a wooden dovetail joint requires no mechanical fasteners.</div> </br>





<left><img src="/images/Dovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>The dovetail joint pre-dates written history.</b> Some of the earliest known examples of the dovetail joint are in furniture entombed with mummies dating from First Dynasty of ancient Egypt, as well the tombs of Chinese emperors. The dovetail design is an important method of distinguishing various periods of furniture.</div> </br>


<left><img src="/images/Finished-Dovetail.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Dovetails can be cut by hand or by machines, often with an electric router and using one of a range of commercially available jigs or templates.</b> Although it is technically a straight forward process, hand-cutting dovetails requires a high degree of accuracy to ensure a snug fit and so can be difficult to master. The pins and tails must fit together with no gap between them so that the joint interlocks tightly with no movement. Thus the cutting of dovetails by hand is regarded as a mark of skill on the part of the craftsperson.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red14"><b>It Takes A Master Craftsman To Hand Cut Perfect Joints</b></div id="red14"></div></center>

<left><img src="/images/Dovetail-Chisel.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The angle of slope varies according to the wood used.</b> Typically the slope is 1:6 for softwoods and a shallower 1:8 slope for hardwoods. Often a slope of 1:7 is used as a compromise - perhaps using a dovetail template for marking out.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>When being cut by hand, there are two schools of thought as to whether the pins or the tails should be cut first.</b> For pins first, the pins are laid out and cut by the chosen method, then the outline of the pins is transferred to the face of the tail board. For tails first, the tails are laid out and cut and then the outline is transferred to the end grain of the pin board. Each has advantages and it is a personal choice as to which is chosen.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Hand cut dovetails can often be distinguished from machine-cut dovetails by the width of the pins.</b> It is possible to have pins that are almost triangular when cut by hand that are not possible when cut with a router, owing to the thickness of the router bit's shank. These narrow pins are known as London Pins.</div> </br>



<div><br> <b> A through dovetail joint </b> (also known as plain dovetail) joint, where the end grain of both boards is visible when the joint is assembled. Through dovetails are common in carcass and box construction. Traditionally, the dovetails would have often be covered by a veneer. However, dovetails have become a signature of craftsmanship and are generally considered a feature, so they are rarely concealed in contemporary work.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-throughdovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>A half-blind dovetail is used when the craftsman does not wish end grain to be visible from the front of the item.</b> The tails are housed in sockets in the ends of the board that is to be the front of the item so that their ends cannot be seen. Half-blind dovetails are commonly used to fasten drawer fronts to drawer sides. This is an alternative to the practice of attaching false fronts to drawers constructed using through dovetails.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-halfblinddovetail.jpg"></left>


<div><br> <b>The sliding dovetail is a method of joining two boards at right angles, where the intersection occurs within the field of one of the boards, that is not at the end.</b> This joint provides the interlocking strength of a dovetail. Sliding dovetails are assembled by sliding the tail into the socket. It is common to slightly taper the socket, making it slightly tighter towards the rear of the joint, so that the two components can be slid together easily but the joint becomes tighter as the finished position is reached.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Joinery-slidingdovetail.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The full-blind dovetail obscures the mechanics of the joint altogether.</b> This variant is used in fine work when the craftsperson requires the strength of a dovetail but without the visual intrusion of the interlocking pins and tails. Two versions of this joint are the secret double-lapped dovetail and the full-blind mitered dovetail. The former presents a very thin section of end grain on one edge of the joint, whilst the latter does not. When used in drawer construction, a "full-blind dovetail" is known as a "French dovetail."</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Some of these ancient joints and has been found joining the wooden planks of the "Khufu ship", a 43.6 m long vessel sealed into a pit in the Giza pyramid complex of the Fourth Dynasty around 2,500 BC.</b> It has also been found in archeological sites in the Middle East, Europe and Asia. In traditional Chinese architecture, wood components such as beams, brackets, roof frames and struts were made to interlock with perfect fit, without using fasteners or glues, enabling the wood to expand and contract according to humidity. Archaeological evidence from Chinese sites show that by the end of the Neolithic, mortise and tenon joinery was employed in Chinese construction. The 30 sarsen stones of Stonehenge were dressed and fashioned with mortise and tenon joints before they were erected between 2600 and 2400 B.C.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Biscuit.jpg"></left>
<div><br> <b>A butt joint is a joinery technique in which two members are joined by simply butting them together. </b>The butt joint is the simplest joint to make since it merely involves cutting the members to the appropriate length and butting them together. It is also the weakest because unless some form of reinforcement is used (see below) it relies upon glue alone to hold it together. Because the orientation of the members usually present only end grain to long grain gluing surface, the resulting joint is inherently weak.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Bridle Joint  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>

<div><br> <b>A bridle joint is a woodworking joint, similar to a mortise and tenon, in that a tenon is cut on the end of one member and a mortise is cut into the other to accept it.</b> The distinguishing feature is that the tenon and the mortise are cut to the full width of the tenon member.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/T-Bridle.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>The corner bridle joint (also known as a slot mortise and tenon) joins two members at their respective ends, forming a corner. </b>This form of the joint is commonly used to house a rail in uprights, such as legs. It provides good strength in compression and is fairly resistant to racking, although a mechanical fastener or pin is often required. The bridle joint is very popular in workbench construction.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Butterfly Joint  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>



<div><br> <b>A Butterfly joint is a type of joint used either to hold two or more wooden boards together or to keep two halves of a board that have already started to split from splitting further.</b> They may also be used to stabilize the core of a knothole, preventing it from dropping out over time. A butterfly joint resembles two dovetails connected at the narrow part. A negative of the hole is cut out of the board the butterfly will be placed in and the butterfly is then fitted, keeping the joint together. The wood used for the butterfly is usually a contrasting wood, often walnut.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Coping Or Scribing Joint  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>


<div><br> <b>Coping or scribing is the woodworking technique of shaping the end of a moulding or frame component to fit the contours of an abutting member.</b> Most English speaking countries outside the US use the terms scribe and scribing. Coping is commonly used in the fitting of skirting and other moldings in a room. It allows for clean joints between intersecting members when walls are not square to each other. The other method of fitting these moldings that is commonly used is the mitre joint but this technique relies upon the walls being at 90Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â° to each other for neat results. </div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Coped-Joint.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>Coping is only ever used for internal corners.</b> External corners are always mitered. The main reason that scribed joints are used is that timber shrinks in width far more than it does in length. By using a scribed joint rather than an internal mitre joint the effect of shrinkage is minimized. Also it is possible to arrange the scribed joints pointing away from the most common viewpoint (usually the doorway of a room) and so present the best appearance.</div> </br>



</left><div><br><b>A scribed joint</b> (right end of sketch) is derived from an internal mitre cut (left end) by cutting along the inside face of the mitre cut at a right angle to the board, typically with a coping saw.</div><br/>


<left><img src="/images/Scribed-joint.jpg">


<div><br> <b>Coping is also commonly used in cabinet making for moldings and frame components.</b> The rails in frame and panel construction are commonly cope cut to fit the profile of the stiles. The technique is also common in the construction of doors and windows.</div> </br>

<center><div><br><br><div id="red16"><b>Rail And Stile  </b></div id="red16"></div></center>

<div><br> <b>Frame and panel construction (also called "rail and stile") is a woodworking technique often used in the making of doors, wainscoting, and other decorative features for cabinets, furniture, and homes.</b> The basic idea is to capture a 'floating' panel within a sturdy frame, as opposed to techniques like slab drawer fronts which are simply single pieces of material with exposed end-grains. Usually, the panel is not glued to the frame - it is left to 'float' within it so that seasonal movement of the wood comprising the panel does not distort the frame.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Frame and panel construction at its most basic consists of five members:</b> The panel and the four members which make up the frame. The vertical members of the frame are called stiles while the horizontal members are known as rails. A basic frame and panel item consists of a top rail, a bottom rail, two stiles, and a panel. This is a common method of constructing cabinet doors and these are often referred to as a five piece door.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>In larger panels it is common to divide the panel into one or more sections.</b> To house the extra panels, dividing pieces known as mid rails and mid stiles or muntins are added to the frame.</div> </br>





<div><br> <b>Pocket-Hole Joinery, Pocket-Screw Joinery, or Kreg Joinery involves drilling a hole at an angle into one work-piece, and then joining it to a second work-piece with a self-tapping screw. </b>The technique, in addition to doweling, has its roots in ancient Egypt. Egyptians clamped two work-pieces together and bored a hole at an angle from the outside work-piece into the second work-piece. They then inserted a dowel with glue, and cut it off flush with the outermost surface.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Pocket-Hole.jpg"></left>

<div><br> <b>A rabbet (also known as rebate) is a recess or groove cut into the edge of a piece of machinable material, usually wood. When viewed in cross-section, a rabbet is two-sided and open to the edge or end of the surface into which it is cut.</b> The spelling rabbet is probably a derivation of rebate, the latter being more common outside of North America. An example of the use of a rabbet is in a glazing bar where it makes provision for the insertion of the pane of glass and putty. It may also accommodate the edge of the back panel of a cabinet. It is also used in door and casement window jambs.</div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Tongue and groove joint </b>A strong joint, the tongue and groove joint is widely used for re-entrant angles. The effect of wood shrinkage is concealed when the joint is beaded or otherwise moulded. In expensive cabinet work, glued dovetail and multiple tongue and groove are used. Tongue and groove or T&G is a method of fitting similar objects together, edge to edge, used mainly with wood: flooring, parquetry, panelling, and similar constructions. Tongue and groove joints allow two flat pieces to be joined strongly together to make a single flat surface. Before plywood became common, tongue and groove boards were also used for sheathing buildings and to construct concrete formwork.</div> </br>

<left><img src="/images/Dusheme.jpg"></left>
<div><br><b>Solid parquet boards with tongues on the right sides of the boards and grooves on the left sides. Grooves are also visible on the near ends; the far ends are tongued.</div><br/></b>

<div><br> <b>Each piece has a slot (the groove) cut all along one edge, and a thin, deep ridge (the tongue) on the opposite edge.</b> The tongue projects a little less than the groove is deep. Two or more pieces thus fit together closely. The joint is not normally glued, as shrinkage would then pull the tongue off. For many uses, tongue and groove boards have been rendered obsolete by the introduction of plywood and later composite wood boards, <b>but the method is still used in good-quality flooring.</b> Plywood may also be tongued all round to fit it flush into a framed structure, and plywood for sub-floors used in platform framing is often supplied with tongue and groove edges.When joining thicker materials, several tongue and groove joints may be used one above the other.</div> </br>


<div><br> <b>A dado (US and Canada), housing (UK) or trench (Europe) is a slot or trench cut into the surface of a piece of machinable material, usually wood.</b> When viewed in cross-section, a dado has three sides. A dado is cut across, or perpendicular to, the grain and is thus differentiated from a groove which is cut with, or parallel to, the grain.

<div><br> <b>Dougong (simplified Chinese: &#26007;&#25329;; traditional Chinese: &#26007;&#25329;; pinyin: d&#466;ug&#466;ng) is a unique structural element of interlocking wooden brackets, one of the most important elements in traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Malaysian and Singaporian architecture.</b> The use of dougong first appeared in buildings of the late centuries BC and evolved into a structural network that joined pillars and columns to the frame of the roof. </div> </br>

<div><br> <b>Dougong was widely used in the ancient Chinese during the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC)</b> and developed into a complex set of interlocking parts by its peak in the Tang and Song periods. The pieces are fit together by joinery alone without glue or fasteners, due to the precision and quality of the carpentry. After the Song Dynasty, brackets and bracket sets became more ornamental than structural when used in palatial structures and important religious buildings, no longer the traditional dougong.</div> </br>

<div><br><b>When you purchase investment quality furnishings, doors, gates, cabinets, lighting and hardware they will appreciate and keep up with inflation or exceed most other investments.</b> For this reason, becoming wealthy has very little to do with a higher education or having a lot of extra money. It is truly making wise decisions and a state of mind that allows for you to pay once for a good value and continue to grow wealth while enjoying living in your investment. Not to mention this type of investing has many other benefits, such as priceless family  heirlooms that have meaning and the ability to pass on your legacy to future generations. </div></br>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de HattonchÃƒÂ¢tel is a chÃƒÂ¢teau in Vigneulles HattonchÃƒÂ¢tel in the Meuse department, France.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The chÃƒÂ¢teau was built during the 9th century by Hatto, Bishop of Verdun,</b> whose name it bears, on a rocky promontory overlooking the Seine Valley. The settlement became the chief stronghold of the bishops and also the location of their mint until 1546. In 1636 the retreating Swedes besieged and burnt most of the town.</div><br/></div><br/>


<div><br><b>The American Lady Belle Skinner from Holyoke, Massachusetts. ( as the French say )</b>After graduating from Vassar in 1887, Belle Skinner spent a year in France where she fell in love with the village of HattonchÃƒÂ¢tel because it reminded her of the idyllic Connecticut Valley near her home in Holyoke, Massachusetts. "During the dark days of 1918, she saw it again, this time through field glasses from within the French lines. It was in the hands of the Germans. They had taken the village without resistance and had held it for four years. 


<div><br><b>Miss Skinner declared to a French officer that this was to be her village to adopt.</b> When he protested that there was nothing left but the hill, she replied with true American vision: `Then I will rebuild what there is of it.'" After the war, in 1919, she returned to HattonchÃƒÂ¢tel to make good on her promise. She spent a million dollars on the reconstruction - including a new water system, electricity, a model school house, and a town hall with a library and a cinema hall. "In recognition of her unselfish and well-directed efforts for the relief of suffering in France, the French Government bestowed upon Belle Skinner, in 1919, the Gold Medal of the Reconnaissance Francaise, and, in 1920, the Cross of the LÃƒÂ¢gion d'Honneur."

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<center><div><br><div id="red20"><b>Historical Origin And Design Inspiration</b></div></center>




<div><br><b>A bar (also called a pub or tavern) is a business that serves drinks, especially alcoholic beverages such as beer, liquor, and mixed drinks, for consumption on the premises.</b> Bars provide stools or chairs for the patrons along tables or raised counters. Some bars have entertainment on a stage, such as a live band, comedians, go-go dancers, a floor show or strippers (see strip club). Bars that are part of hotels are sometimes called long bars or hotel lounges.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The term "bar" is derived from the specialized counter on which drinks are served and is a synecdoche applied to the whole of the drinking establishment.</b> The "back bar" or "gantry" is a set of shelves of glasses and bottles behind that counter. In some bars, the gantry is elaborately decorated with woodwork, etched glass, mirrors, and lights. When food is served elsewhere in the establishment, it may also be ordered and eaten at the bar.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>There are many types of bars, which can be categorized according to the types of entertainment provided at the bar and by their clientÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨le.</b> Bars categorized by the type of entertainment or activities offered at the bar include: Topless bars, where topless female employees serve drinks or dance; sports bars, where sports fans watch games on large-screen televisions; salsa bars, where patrons dance to Latin salsa music; and dance bars, which have a modest-sized dance floor where patrons dance to recorded music. However, if a dance bar has a large dance floor and hires well-known professional DJs, it is considered to be nightclub or discothÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨que.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Bars categorized by the clientele who come to the bar include:</b> biker bars, which are bars frequented by motorcycle enthusiasts, and in some regions, motorcycle gang members; gay bars, where gay men or women dance and socialize; cop bars, where off-duty law enforcement agents gather; and singles bars where (mostly) unmarried people of both genders can socialize and meet.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>A bar's owners and managers typically choose establishment names, decor, drink menus, lighting and other elements they can control so as to attract a certain clientele.</b> However, bar operators have only limited influence over who patronizes their establishments and a bar envisioned for one demographic can become popular with another. For example, a gay bar with a dance floor might attract an increasingly-straight clientele over time and vice versa. As well, a blues club may become a de facto "biker bar" if its main clients are biker gang members.
There are also retro bars and lounge bars.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Wine bars Although the trend of wine bars in the United States was not well-received in the 1980s, they began to gain popularity in the 90s.</b> By early 2000, wine bars became very popular and started popping up in many metropolitan neighborhoods across the country. Wine bars now rival the local hangouts such as coffee shops and local bars. The wine bar phenomenon offers the taste before you buy philosophy. Wine bars put a new spin on wine tasting. They seek to remove the association of wine with upscale clientÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨le and overwhelming wine lists and replace it with a more casual and relaxing atmosphere. Many of these bars are furnished with nooks and booths encased in rich colors and plush surroundings in hopes their guests will linger. Wine bars look to embrace the intellectual stimulation linked to wine and offer an alternative to the bar scene. The laid-back environment lends itself to a good socializing setting with a less crowded feel and more intimate appeal. Modern wine bars have begun to incorporate a larger variety of food choices. Traditionally associated with cheeses and desserts, wine bars are looking to combine wine with appetizer-sized gourmet selections to enhance the palate. The concept brings the tastes of fancy restaurants to a dressed-down setting. Restaurant owners and chefs take the opposite approach and use wine bars as an opportunity for expansion.</div><br/>




<div><br><b>In Australia, traditionally the 'public bar' was where only men drank, while the 'lounge bar' or 'saloon bar' was where women or men could drink (i.e. mixed drinking). This distinction is not seen now as anti-discrimination legislation and women's rights activism has broken down the concept of a public drinking area accessible to only one sex.</b> Where two bars still exist in the one establishment, one (that derived from the 'public bar') will be more downmarket while the other (deriving from the 'lounge bar') will be more upmarket. Over time, with the introduction of gaming machines into hotels, many 'lounge bars' have or are being converted into gaming rooms.
In the major Australian cities there is an immense and diverse bar scene with a range of ambiences, modes and styles catering for every echelon of cosmopolitan society.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> Canada has absorbed many of the public house traditions common in the UK, such as the drinking of dark ales and stouts, and the establishment of British-style pubs.</b> Canada adopted the UK-style tavern, which was the most popular type of bar throughout the 1960s and 1970s, especially for working class people. Canadian taverns, which can still be found in remote regions of Northern Canada, have long tables with benches lining the sides. Patrons in these taverns often order beer in large quart bottles and drink inexpensive "bar brand" Canadian rye whisky. In some provinces, taverns used to have separate entrances for men and women.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>As Canada borders the United States, it has also adopted many U.S. bar traditions (such as the "biker bar", and the "sports bar").</b> As a result the term "bar" has often come to be differentiated with the term "pub", in that bars are usually 'themed' and often have a dance floor (such as a dance bar), as opposed to establishments which call themselves pubs, which are often much more similar to a British tavern in style. The U.S.- bar has become very popular in Canada. Canadian sports bars are usually decorated with merchandise and paraphernalia featuring the local hockey team, and patrons watch the games on large-screen televisions.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Legal restrictions on bars are set by the Canadian provinces and territories, which has led to a great deal of variety. </b>While some provinces have been very restrictive with their bar regulation, setting strict closing times and banning the removal of alcohol from the premises, other provinces have been more liberal. In Alberta, for example, patrons can order beer for "take-out" at the end of the night, a practice which is illegal in provinces such as Ontario. Closing times generally run from 2:00 to 4:00 a.m.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In Nova Scotia, particularly in Halifax, there was, until the 1980s, a very distinct system of gender-based laws were in effect for decades.</b> Taverns, bars, halls, and other classifications differentiated whether it was exclusively for men or women, men with invited women, vice-versa, or mixed. After this fell to the wayside, the issue of water closets led many powder rooms in taverns being either constructed later, or in kitchens or upstairs halls where plumbing allowed, and the same in former sitting rooms for men's facilities.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>India Bars in India are mainly clustered in metro cities, like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc.</b> The rest of the country has very few bar formats. Mostly, drinks are served in establishments such as restaurants. Many consumers prefer to purchase liquor at "wine shops" (locally known as Thekas"Ã¢â‚¬Âshops that, until recently, stocked only beer and liquor) and consume it at home. More recently, bars are showing up in smaller cities; but, these establishments cater to a mostly male clientÃƒÆ’Ã‚Â¨le and are unlike the social hubs of the west. Since last few years, many international brand have entered the market, like 'Hard Rock Cafe', 'TGI Friday's', Ruby Tuesday's', Pop Tate's, 'Ministry of Sound(MOS)', etc. Similar chains of bars are now starting to emerge from within the country. Olives, Punjabi by nature, Geoffrey's Dhadkkan at Solan Himachal Pradesh and All Sports Bar are among the few popular ones.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>In Italy, a 'bar' is a place more similar to a CafÃƒÂ¢, where people go during the morning or the afternoon, usually to take a coffee, a cappuccino, a hot chocolate and eat some kind of snack like pastries and sandwiches (panini or tramezzini). However, any kind of alcoholic beverages are served. </b>Opening hours vary: some establishments are open since very early in the morning and close relatively early in the evening; others, especially if next to a theater or a cinema, may be open until late at night. In larger cities like Milan, Rome, Turin or Genoa, many larger bars are also restaurants and disco clubs. Many Italian bars have introduced a 'so called' "aperitivo" time in the evening: everyone who purchases an alcoholic drink then has free access to an usually abundant buffet of cold dishes like pasta salads, vegetables and various types of appetizers.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Bars in Spain are very common and form an important part in Spanish culture.</b> In Spain it is common for a town to have many bars and even to have several lined up in the same street. Most bars have a section of the street or plaza outside with tables and chairs with parasols if the weather allows it. Spanish bars are also known for serving a wide range of sandwiches (bocadillos), as well as snacks called tapas or pinchos. Normally, most bars in Spain offer tapas, but some of them are served on a complementary basis when a drink is ordered, and others have to be ordered and paid. Normally, bars in Southern Spain offer free-tapas with the drinks while in North Spain bars tend to charge for them. Due to a recent law, some bars ban smoking though their number is comparatively small with the bars that allow it. Bigger bars must have always a smoke-free zone.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Spain is the country with the highest ratio of bars/population with almost 6 bars per thousand inhabitants, that's 3 times UK's ratio and 4 times Germany's, and it alone has double the number of bars than the oldest of the 15-members of the European Union. </b> The meaning of the word 'bar' in Spain, however, does not have the negative connotation inherent in the same word in many other languages. For Spanish people a bar is essentially a meeting place, and not necessarily a place to engage in the consumption of alcoholic beverages. As a result, children are normally allowed into bars, and it's common to see families in bars during week-ends of the end of the day. In small towns, the 'bar' may constitute the very center of social life, and it's customary that, after social events, such as the Sunday catholic mass, people go to bars, including seniors and children alike.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In the UK bars are either areas that serve alcoholic drinks within establishments such as hotels, restaurants, universities, or are a particular type of establishment which serves alcoholic drinks such as wine bars, "style bars", private membership only bars.</b> However the main type of establishment selling alcohol for consumption on the premises is the public house or pub. Some bars are similar to nightclubs in that they feature loud music, subdued lighting, or operate a dress code and admissions policy, with inner city bars generally having door staff at the entrance.
'Bar' also designates a separate drinking area within a pub. Until recent years most pubs had two or more bars - very often the Public bar, and the Saloon Bar, where the decor was better and prices were sometimes higher. The designations of the bars varied regionally. In the last two decades many pub interiors have been opened up into single spaces, which some people regret as it loses the flexibility, intimacy and traditional feel of a multi-roomed public house. One of the last 'Dive Bars' in london was underneath the Kings Head pub in Gerrard Street, Soho.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>In the United States of America, legal distinctions often exist between restaurants, bars, and even types of bars. </b>These distinctions vary from state to state, and even among municipalities. Beer bars (sometimes called taverns or pubs) may be legally restricted to only selling beer or possibly wine, cider and other low-proof beverages. Liquor bars sell everything from beer to hard liquor.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Bars are sometimes exempt from smoking bans that restaurants are subject to, even if those restaurants have liquor licenses.</b> The distinction between a restaurant that serves liquor and a bar is usually made by the percentage of revenue earned from selling liquor, although increasingly, smoking bans include bars too. In most places, bars are prohibited from selling alcoholic beverages to go and this makes them clearly different from liquor stores. Some brewpubs and wineries can serve alcohol to go, but under the rules applied to a liquor store. In some areas, such as New Orleans and parts of Las Vegas, open containers of alcohol may be prepared to go. This kind of restriction is usually dependent on an open container law.</div><br/>

<div><br><b> In Pennsylvania and Ohio, bars may sell six packs of beer "to-go" in original (sealed) containers by obtaining a take-out license. </b>Historically, the western United States featured saloons. Many saloons survive in the western United States, though their services and features have changed with the times. Newer establishments have been built in the saloon style to duplicate the feeling of the older establishments. Many Irish or British-themed "pubs" exist throughout United States and Canada and in some continental European countries. La Crosse, Wisconsin, has the most bars per capita with 362 bars and only 51,034 people living in the city limits.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>Elsewhere Bars range from down-and-dirty "dives" which are little more than a dark room with a counter and some bottles of liquor, to elegant places of entertainment for the elite.</b>
Many bars set a happy hour to encourage off-peak patronage. Contrastingly, bars that fill to capacity typically implement a cover charge, often similar in price to one or two cocktails, during their peak hours. Such bars often feature entertainment, which may be a live band, or a popular D.J..

Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day.

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century,</b> in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the <a style="font-size:12px;color:blue;font-weight:normal;"  href="http://www.gamblehouse.org/">Gamble House in Pasadena California</a>) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).</div><br/> 

<div><br><b>Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors.</b> Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them.   H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher.<b> Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.</b></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The frontier! There is no word in the English language more stirring, more intimate, or more beloved.</b> It has in it all the elan of the old French phrase, En avant! It carries all of the old Saxon command, Forward!! It means all that America ever meant. It means the old hope of a real personal liberty, and yet a real human advance in character and achievement. To a genuine American it is the dearest word in all the world.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>What is, or was, the frontier? Where was it? Under what stars did it lie? </b>Because, as the vague Iliads of ancient heroes or the nebulous records of the savage gentlemen of the Middle Ages make small specific impingement on our consciousness today, so also even now begin the tales of our own old frontier to assume a haziness, an unreality, which makes them seem less history than folklore. Now the truth is that the American frontier of history has many a local habitation and many a name. And this is why it lies somewhat indefinite under the blue haze of the years, all the more alluring for its lack of definition, like some old mountain range, the softer and more beautiful for its own shadows.</div><br/>





<div><br><b>Buckskin Frank Leslie A western gunfighter, Indian Scout and prospector, </b>Leslie was best known for having killed Billy Claibourne, one of the infamous Clanton Gang, who feuded with the Earps in Tombstone , Arizona. Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Leslie migrated west somewhere along the line and was working as a scout for the U.S. Army in Texas, Oklahoma and the Dakotas during the 1870"Ã¢â€žÂ¢s. By the time he arrived in Tombstone in1880, the town was teeming with outlaws and other shiftless characters as the Earps were attempting to tame the lawless settlement. Leslie, though standing just 5 feet 7 inches and weighing 135 pounds, had already earned a reputation as a gunfighter. He earned the moniker of "Buckskin Frank" because of the buckskin fringed jacket that he wore all of the time.</div><br/>

<center><div><br><h1>This Is Not Your Ordinary Log Furnishing </h1></center></div>


<div><br><b>This Lodge Style Furniture Is Built From Solid Cedar Beams</b> that have been fully cured by natural desert air drying. All timber is cured for at least two years to less than 3% prior to being tenon joined, pegged and doweled to create a solid structure. This solid structure would be likened to the way a well built wooden train trestle or old 19th century barn would be built.  Then all timbers are hand carved by our master carvers to appear as logs. </div>

<div><h3>This Log Style Furnishing Will Never Warp, Bow Or Shake and Is Built To Stand The Test Of Time</h3></div><br/>

<center><div><br><h1>Let's Compare </h1></center></div><br/>

<div><br><b>Most log furnishings are built with semi cured lumber taken directly from the forest.</b> Most of these furnishings are not structural even though it would lead one to believe they were at first blush. Most makers of natural log pool tables ask that you put supports from under side to floor to support the weight of the slate or they some times use a 1/2' slate bed to keep the weight down. </div>

<div><b>The reason is usually the joinery.</b> Plus these natural logs will usually shrink from 20% to 35% more once they are in the environment of your home. This allows the slip joints to shrink and almost always bow and twist. Also if the weight of your slate playing bed were also being supported by these semi cured logs it would add additional bowing and warping<h3>This of course makes most of these natural log furnishings, that appear like quality, eventual firewood.</h3></div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France.

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The Fallow Deer (Dama dama) is a ruminant mammal belonging to the family Cervidae. </b>The male is a buck, the female is a doe, and the young a fawn. Bucks are 140-160 cm long and 90-100 cm shoulder height, and 60-85 kg in weight; does are 130-150 cm long and 75-85 cm shoulder height, and 30-50 kg in weight. Fawns are born in spring at about 30 cm and weigh around 4.5 kg. The life span is around 12-16 years. All of the Fallow deer have white spots on their backs, and black tips at the ends of their tails.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The species is very variable in colour, with four main variants, "common", "menil", "melanistic" and "albinistic". The common form has a brown coat with white mottles that are most pronounced in summer with a much darker coat in the winter.</b> The albinistic is the lightest coloured, almost white; common and menil are darker, and melanistic is very dark, even black (easily confused with the Sika Deer). Most herds consist of the common form but have menil form and melanistic form animals amongst them (the three groups do not stay separate and interbreed readily).</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Only bucks have antlers, these are broad and shovel-shaped. </b>They are grazing animals; their preferred habitat is mixed woodland and open grassland. During the rut bucks will spread out and females move between them, at this time of year fallow deer are relatively ungrouped compared to the rest of the year when they try to stay together in groups of up to 150.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>Whitetails communicate in many different ways including sounds, scent and marking. </b>All whitetail deer are capable of producing audible noises, unique to each animal. Fawns release a high pitched squeal, known as a bleat, to call out to their mothers. Does also bleat, as well as grunt. Grunting produces a low, guttural sound that will attract the attention of any other deer in the area. Both does and bucks snort, a sound that often signals danger. As well as snorting, bucks also grunt at a pitch thats gets lower with maturity. Bucks are unique, however, in their grunt-snort-wheeze pattern that often shows aggression and hostility.</div><br/>


<div><br><b>  Antlered white-tailed deer possess many glands that allow them to produce scents, some of which are so potent they can be detected by the human nose. </b>Three major glands are the orbital, tarsal and metatarsal glands. Orbital glands are found on the head, and scent is deposited from them by rubbing the head, often the area around the eyes, on hanging twigs. The tarsal glands are found on the lower outside of each hind leg. Scent is deposited from these glands when deer walk through and rub against vegetation. The metatarsal glands, found on the inside "knee" of each hind leg, are the most potent.</div><br/>

 
<div><br><b> During the first year the pedicles appear on the young deer's forehead.</b> The following year, the youngster sprouts straight, spike- like shafts, and in the third year, the first branch appears. In successive years, as the deer matures, his antlers lengthen and, in most species, he acquires additional branches. One can actually determine the age of the deer from the number of branches on his antlers, as their number increases with age.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The ChÃƒÂ¢teau de Beynac is a castle situated in the commune of Beynac-et-Cazenac, in the Dordogne dÃƒÂ¢partement of France. The castle is one of the best preserved and best-known in the region.</b> This Middle Ages construction, with its austere appearance, is perched on top of a limestone cliff, dominating the town and the north bank of the Dordogne River.</div><br/>

<div><br><b>The castle was built from the 12th century by the barons of Beynac (one of the four baronies of PÃƒÂ¢rigord) to close the valley.</b> The sheer cliff face being sufficient to discourage any assault from that side, the defences were built up on the plateau: double crenellated walls, double moats, one of which was a deepened natural ravine, double barbican.</div><br/>
