Expert Answers: Furniture Dimensions
When reading furniture dimensions, which number is which?

Q: When measurements are given for a piece of furniture (for example, 24 x 30 x 25 in.), which figure refers to which dimension?

A: Furniture measurements typically are expressed in the sequence height, width, depth. Height is always listed first. But confusion can occur because the terms width and depth are not always intuitive. Consider a coffee table that’s 24 in. from front to back and 48 in. from end to end. It would be natural to think of the 24-in. dimension as the width and the 48-in. dimension as the length. But most manufacturers would list the table size as height x width (48 in.) x depth (24 in.). In addition, the term length often is employed instead of depth, in which case width can refer to the dimension that would otherwise be expressed as depth. By visualizing the object, however, you can usually deduce which measurement is which.

Axe Work Basics

Only a rock is an older tool than an axe. Without an axe, the first house could not have been built, the first river spanned by a bridge, or the first wagon made to cross it — nor even the yoke for the oxen that pulled it.

Among the tools and innovations responsible for humankind's rise, an axe was premier. And even today, there are few obstacles that can stand before an axe. Sadly, the need to use an axe in daily life has diminished over the generations, and now only a very few people understand the mechanics of using this simplest of tools to its best advantage.

This video, from respected North American woodsman Len McDougall, a man who has been using axes for than a full half-century, reveals some of the lesser known basics of using an axe to make timber do what you want it to do. For more information about the tricks and tools of lumberjacking, including felling trees and avoiding learning the meaning of "widowmaker," look for Len's newest book, Modern Lumberjacking, from Skyhorse Publishers.


Len McDougall is the author of more than a dozen books, available at bookstores around the world. His latest work, titled Modern Lumberjacking (Skyhorse Publishing, April 2016), was inspired by a relative who was killed while trying to fell a tree.
