not sure. i guess that you’d just have to do some research and see how much reclaimed wood of that species goes for on average.

looks like a good tool, thanks for posting.

Everybody needs to read Markup & Profit: A Contractor's Guide by Michael C. Stone

He explains very clearly that the reason contractors (and everybody else, for that matter) go out of business is that they don’t charge enough!

This book is a MUST READ!!!

-- Furniture Medic- the prescription for damaged furniture

The spreadsheet “Teenagewoodworker” posted is intended as a guide for the average woodworker to calculate the cost/selling price of a project. It could be “Flowered Up” to make it more professional looking including inserting photos, different formats, fonts, business data, etc.- thus making it more of a business form.

Please feel free to change/modify/personalize it. If you get a chance, please post your improvements/modifications so we can see how it is coming along.

Thanks,

Lew

Absolutely read Mark up and Profit as noted above…....it’s the solution tha puts all these questions to an end and eliminates the guesswork. Wish I had found it years ago but I read it 18 months ago and it completely changed my remodelling company, I now work less and make more money.
