2601 Dressers and Sideboards A brief History
The distinction between sideboards and dressers is sometimes confused, but dressers would traditionally have been found in kitchens where food was dressed or prepared, whereas sideboards were used for food that was ready to be served to the diners.
Styles of dresser varied from region to region and were developed to accommodate different local requirements. For example, some had a lead lined drawer that porridge was poured into and when it had cooled (and solidified) it was cut and served to staff. Some dressers developed from dairy work whilst others evolved from the preparation of game.
0103 Oak Furniture - Versatile Material
Oak is a slow growing tree. It has a dense timber that does most things well. For example, it is not as rot resistant as sweet chestnut when used for fencing, but it is still a very good material for fencing. It cannot be carved as easily as lime, but is still a good wood to carve. It may not be as pretty as walnut or mahogany, but still has a beautiful grain pattern.
Perhaps of all trees, it is the oak that has contributed most to Britain's history. From the oak used for building ships, to the oak pit props that allowed British coal to power steam engines the world over. Oak is also a great timber for building solid, reliable, attractive furniture.
