If you're a passionate woodworker wondering how to make your hobby a full-time project that brings steady income, successful woodworking business owner John A. Hufford offers a comprehensive guide to achieve your goals.

Over his 30+ year career as a master craftsman and expert woodworker, John gets asked one question by other woodworkers over and over again: How can I make any money from this hobby?

John's book is here to answer that question - and provide the toolkit other woodworkers need to create a passion-fueled, profitable woodworking business.

Unlike business books and woodworking technique books, How to Start a Woodworking Business: Bridging the Gap from Hobbyist to Professional combines the sales and business side of the craft with woodworking-specific instructors, making this how-to guide one-of-a-kind.

Whether you want to launch a full-time or part-time business, How to Start a Woodworking Business is your guide to building the foundation, understanding how to launch, and carrying through to execution.

Taking his experience and sharing with woodworkers of every skill level, John infuses his knowledge and expertise into How to Start a Woodworking Business that will help you through the entire process of starting a business. With simplistic steps and brutal honesty, John doesn't shy away from the tough part of owning a woodworking business.

Within the pages, you'll learn:

● What's required of the crafter when changing from hobby to business.

● How to determine what you would like to build and if it is a sustainable product.

● How to create the brand image for you and your company.

● How to price your work to make a profit.

● Marketing, sales, and management tactics specific to a woodworking business.

Dotted with anecdotes of personal experiences, John and his novel provide woodworkers of every skill level the tools to make it happen for themselves.

John A. Hufford has enjoyed a wonderful, 30-year career in woodworking. Born and raised in a rural town in Northeastern Pennsylvania, John's first introduction to his love for woodworking was in a high school wood shop. After four years in the Marines, John started a career in sales but desired to own his own business - and never forgot his passion. After moving to North Carolina, he combined his experience in sales with his passion for woodworking and turned it into a successful, full-time business. Now retired, John maintains his same passion but exclusively uses his gift for family and friends.
