In this video I break down my profit from 3 different bourbon barrel stave woodworking projects by item. I also talk about the material costs and the effort involved to make each type. Watch the video to find out of this is a potential profitable woodworking project for you to consider or not.

I love my coasters! They are worth every penny!

I love them as well, so one set is staying here at the house and not going up for sale. Thanks for the nice feedback, as always greatly appreciated.

Great job on all. The Basket is my favourite though. ❤

[@TryNewThings]

Mine too! But, we didn't even keep one for ourselves. Did not take Kim long to steal a christmas tree though.

You might try tree projects out of pallets which might be available for free. My experience it’s hard to sell Christmas items during the summer. Great projects, glad you had fun also.

[@TryNewThings]

I would assume it will be tough sell in the summer for sure… but I have some other easy ideas that should be more seasonally independent, and some more Christmas ideas. I do have a small pile of pallets on hand as well and was thinking about making some carry trays, not sure how to explain it other than something like the top pull out shelf in old tool boxes, with the long handle, but made of pallet wood.

Overall not a bad project experiment.

I like the basket the best. I'd buy one if the drive was easier. 👍

[@TryNewThings]

The baskets are the best by far, surprisingly heavy given that they are made from 1" oak. I hope to make up a bunch more this winter. Where was it you are located?

[@projectswithjw]

Glasgow. The only reason I'd head up north is for the the megacavern christmas lights or the lights in the park in E-town. @@TryNewThings

I thought the coasters would have done better.

[@TryNewThings]

You and I both. Guess I judged the market wrong on pricing for sure. Although I saw some this past weekend in a shop in LaGrange, not as nice, about the same price.... not sure if anyone is buying those ones either. Oh well, ready made Christmas Gifts :) But now I have to do something with the 500 Tabaco sticks....
