How to make solid wood chairs & tables?

Chairs & tables made from solid wood is extremely resilient and requires very little maintenance. All wood used for furniture construction needs to be properly dried to a certain humidity level (normally is 8%-10%) to help prevent the wood from future splitting. This drying process is done through a combination of air drying and kiln drying by professional equipment. Joint construction is the main indicator of quality furniture. Anything held together with staples or nails is shoddy construction. The best joints are either dovetail or mortise-and-tenon.
