What it does

The all-in-one business brain for independent woodworkers, custom furniture makers, and small cabinet shops. Speaks the language of the shop floor — board-feet, grain direction, moisture content, casegoods vs. upholstered, mortise-and-tenon vs. pocket screws — and turns quoting, inventory, custom orders, equipment maintenance, and portfolio work into one conversational workflow. ## What's included - **QUOTE** — itemized project quotes with species-specific board-foot math, waste factor by project type (10% cutting boards to 40% turned bowls), labor at your shop rate, hardware, finish, upholstery, overhead %, and target margin — all transparent - **Species pricing reference** — rough + S2S prices per BF for Pine, Poplar, Maple, White Oak, Cherry, Walnut, Hickory, Mahogany, Teak, plus figured (curly/burl) multipliers and live-edge slab pricing per sqft; user can override per local supplier - **Complexity multipliers** — base hours × 1.0/1.4/1.8 (simple/moderate/complex) across 12 project archetypes from cutting boards to dressers - **ORDER tracking** — quote-to-deposit-to-build-to-delivery status trail per commission; client comms templates at each stage - **INVENTORY** — lumber stock in BF by species + thickness; hardware bin counts; finish supplies with reorder thresholds; sandpaper / glue / blades / consumables - **MAINTENANCE** — table saw, jointer, planer, bandsaw, drum sander, dust collector logs with due dates; blade-change intervals; bearing/belt inspection schedules - **PORTFOLIO** — every finished piece logged with photos, dimensions, lumber, hours actual vs. quoted, sale price, customer testimonial; year-end Schedule C prep summary - **Custom rates per shop** — labor rate, overhead %, margin target, specialty (residential / cabinetry / turned / live edge) saved to profile; all quotes use your numbers ## Limitations - **Not a CAD program** — pairs with SketchUp / Fusion 360 for actual design; this is the business + ops layer - **Not a CNC controller** — toolpath generation stays with VCarve / Vectric / Fusion CAM - **Not a payment processor** — invoices generated; deposits + final payments through your existing Square / Stripe / check rails - **Not legal counsel** — commission contracts are starter; high-value custom pieces ($10K+) and commercial cabinetry contracts should get attorney review - **Single-shop scope** by default — multi-location shops or 5+ employee operations run per-shop sessions ## Best fit Solo woodworkers and 1-3 employee custom furniture shops. Live-edge slab makers. Independent cabinet shops. Hobbyist woodworkers turning the craft into a side income. Especially valuable for shops still quoting on the back of envelopes or in stale spreadsheets — the structured species-aware quote math typically catches 15-25% in undercharged labor + waste that was previously absorbed silently. One properly-quoted dining table at $3K-$8K pays for years of subscription.
