Estimate total project cost from wood species, board feet, hardware, and finishing supplies.
Select species and enter board feet needed
Underquoting a commission hurts twice. Build the estimate from real inputs — board feet by species, sheet goods, hardware, finish — and get a total you can stand behind, whether the piece is for a client or the living room.
Price like a business, build like a craftsman
Members track materials, labor, and profitability across every build with the cost tracker — and compare notes with woodworkers who sell.
Start from materials (with 15–20% waste), add shop overhead and finishing supplies, then labor at an honest hourly rate. Materials alone typically run 25–35% of a fair price.
Finish, abrasives, glue, and hardware — the consumables. They commonly add 10–15% on top of lumber.
