Finally it comes to the actual creation of your product. Before creating and selling, you need to source good lumber and supplies. Let’s take sourcing quality wood, for example. Some commonly used wood types include pine wood, oak, cedar, cherry, and maple. Oak and maple are great for building furniture. A few ideas include a wooden bench, coffee table, picnic table, bed frame, dining table, bedside table, bookcase, kitchen table, and cabinets. On the other hand, walnut and cherry are good for items like a wooden cutting board, jewelry organizer, rustic wooden sign, wooden serving tray, bird feeder, test tube spice rack, and functional pieces like a sofa arm table.

That said, reclaimed wood is also a great option to minimize material costs. You can create a variety of projects like floating shelves, wooden birdhouses, potting tables, wooden egg holders, wooden blocks, wooden boxes, and even wall art from these pieces. Wood pallets would also work great for many wood projects.

If you plan on churning out a lot of inventory, you need to head to a supplier for your best pieces of wood for carving and even woodworking to cut material costs.

If you decided to market and sell online, plenty of high definition pictures with contrast and saturation that put your products in the best light. Give your online clients and customers plenty to go on with as many different placements and decorations as you can. In the competitive market of wood projects that sell, good product photography can be the difference between catching someone’s eye and losing out on a potential sale.

How will you accept payment? For selling larger and more expensive pieces, especially those pieces that are made out of premium woods like teak or acacia, will you accept payment plans? Create secure and fast method (for both parties) to lock in the money you’re making.
