Focus more on the business aspects of the blog
When it comes to woodworking projects, there are lots of possibilities for what you can create and how to sell them.
If you’re setting up a blog or website to share your product and services, start by researching the different types of items that would be popular with potential buyers. On your website, you could then highlight these pieces to bring attention to the range of options available. Make sure to include detailed explanations, photo galleries, and pricing structures for all the products on offer.
It’s also important to focus on the business aspects of having a woodworking business. In your blog posts or website sections, be sure to include advice on setting up an online store if applicable. Consider also discussing topics such as creating relationships with customers (e.g., offering discounts or free shipping), as well as tips and tricks on setting up a workshop or shop so that buyers have somewhere physical to visit should they wish. Finally, make sure to provide insight into best practices when crafting products – what type of materials are most appropriate for an item? What tools do buyers need? These questions should help shape the atmosphere and reputation you build with your customers over time.
Consider the audience
If you’ve been wondering which woodworking projects are the most appealing to buyers and crafters, then this blog post is for you!
For sellers, products that have a unique design, require limited or customized materials, or can be sold with an emphasis on quality will be much more marketable in the long run. Additionally, those products that can be packaged in a creative way or can be branded effectively will also likely lead to more sales. Consider items such as wooden furniture pieces, personalized home décor items, handcrafted jewelry boxes or even custom-made kitchen knives.
From a crafter’s perspective, consider which skills you may need to hone in order to create objects of value. Projects such as tables, shelves, intricate decorative moldings and ornate frames are not only visually pleasing but require experience and often sophisticated tools for completion that brings real value and appreciation by others. Additionally look into larger scale work like stand-alone structures-wine racks, modern birdhouses and expansive gazebos sell because they make a statement in presenting something special for clients at home and outdoors.
In conclusion both sellers and crafters should always keep an eye out for differences in trends as certain supplies may become scarce over time making certain projects more sought after. Through research ahead of time into marketplace needs, trends and availability of materials you’ll be able to prepare yourself best when it comes proposing woodworking ideas to buyers or building something beautiful from your own creativity!
Leverage extra resources
One way to maximize the number of woodworking projects that sell is to leverage additional resources. For example, many woodworkers utilize tools such as clamps, saws, drills, jigs and routers to complete their projects. It is also important to research and connect with reliable suppliers for materials and other equipment. Additionally, websites like Etsy provide platforms to market and sell custom crafted items. Lastly, there are a variety of software tools available that can aid in graphic design and customization of products. By leveraging extra resources, woodworkers can increase the speed of production while achieving higher quality results; both of which can lead to more successful sales of their handcrafted products.
Offer some tutorials
Tutorials can be a great way to engage prospective customers and make your services more appealing. Start by creating tutorials that cover the basics of woodworking, like how to choose the right tools and materials, how to prepare the workspace, and how to stain and finish the wood. You can also create tutorials for more complex projects, such as making furniture or installing cabinets. Explaining each step in detail and providing photographs and diagrams makes it easier for beginners to get started with their own projects. Additionally, these tutorials could give customers ideas for projects they can do with your services and supplies.

Woodworking projects that sell can range from small, easy-to-make items such as candle holders and boxes to more complex projects like furniture, large sculptures, and wooden toys. The main considerations when selecting a woodworking project are the complexity of the project, the target audience for the product, and visibility potential.
For beginners, the best option is usually to create home items that can be quickly made by hand without requiring lots of technical knowledge or expensive tools. This may include things like wall shelves, wine bottle holders, cutting boards, serving trays and more.
For more intermediate craftsmen who have more tooling experience under their belt, more complex items like furniture pieces or sophisticated tables may be worth considering. These types of projects offer a great opportunity to customize the design with unique elements to make each piece stand out from the rest.
Finally, larger sculptures or intricate wooden toys may be well suited for experienced woodworkers who possess a higher level of skill and technical ability. By creating something unique and compelling that captures attention it may be possible to reach additional markets such as fine art galleries or high-end catalogues.
