    My FiL made my dining room table. It’s ~600lbs and was $2K in material alone, that didn’t include any labor he didn’t charge us. It’s just about indestructible but it certainly would’ve been $4k-$5k if he was selling it. Would you buy that? I thought not. I certainly wouldn’t have.

      I made my sons’ crib. Solid cherry, nothing crazy fancy but I like it. I wouldn’t make another to sell unless I get at least $5k for it. I doubt anyone would buy it for much more than $1k. Just not worth it.
