Always be on the lookout for wood that you can get at no cost. Some businesses get pallets they don't want to keep, and they might give them to you if you're willing to haul them away. Before you start tearing them up you can find examples of pallets that are recycled into furniture online.

Make sure you get the right type of wood. If you want to make a table, avoid easily scratched soft woods like pine. Remember that different woods turn different colors when finished.

Your woodworking skills can be used in your backyard. Consider building a bird feeder, or maybe a deck. Having birds in your yard will help keep the number of insects down. If you are a woodworking professional, try displaying your work to clients by meeting them on your deck.
