Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Easy Food Reality (search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for learning the trick to build great sheds and master woodworking minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got cool results with it.
Hi thanks for sharing this useful information. Could you please advise the types of woods for the bedroom and living rooms doors? Appreciate your support.

Great question! As I understand it, beech is dense and heavy, harder than oak, and makes for a great option for furniture in terms of durability. However, some say beech is a less attractive wood grain for furniture (www.hunker.com/12003158/oak-vs-beech). Our woodworkers in the American midwest don't use beech wood for furniture.
Some woodworkers will use a lighter-weight (and lighter-colored) wood type like birch for the drawer boxes instead of matching the wood type used for the exterior. However, you can expect the Amish woodworkers we work with will generally sand and finish the drawers. The last thing we'd want is for rough wood to snag your clothing in the drawer box!
At DutchCrafters, we don't sell Teak Furniture. Our Amish woodworkers use North American lumber and don't import wood from Asia, where Teak trees are generally grown. It sounds like Teak makes for great outdoor furniture, though, due to some oils in the wood that protect it from moisture and decay. It can be a more expensive wood type because the trees grow slowly.
ikr? That's oak wood with a gray stain. Very contemporary. Very popular right now. Looks like the solid wood was also distressed by the wood shop before staining.
Hi! Among these options, oak and brown maple are probably the best blend of hardwood durability and affordability for beds, but it all depends on your personal preference regarding grain pattern.
Good question. I don't think there's a standard for college desks, but Oak might be best. It is the least expensive hardwood option we know of (for the college budget) and is quite hard and resistant to damage (for the wear and tear of college life).
