Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Wooden table manufacturers select and process timber, going through processes such as cutting, assembly, polishing, and painting to manufacture wooden tables.
Description
Wooden table manufacturers handle manufacturing processes such as timber selection, cutting, processing, joining, polishing, and painting based on design drawings. They use machine tools like circular saws, planing machines, and routers, as well as hand tools like chisels and sanders, to perform precise joint processing and beautiful paint finishes. After manufacturing, they conduct quality inspections and perform maintenance or repairs as necessary. In recent years, the introduction of digital processing equipment such as CNC routers is progressing, and both traditional handwork and the latest technology are required.
Future Outlook
While there remains a strong demand for markets that value high-quality handcraft and custom-order furniture, there is also competition with mass-produced furniture. Interest in eco-friendly furniture using sustainable forest resources is increasing, and the introduction of digital processing technologies such as CNC routers is expected to progress, but inheriting skilled craftsmen techniques and environmental considerations will be challenges.
