Welcome Mark.
While visiting an (unnamed) country, I came upon some interesting wood products (carvings). I asked if they were produced by local artisans. "No," said the shop owner, "We have a minimum wage in this country, and no one could make a living carving these pieces!" If you find some wood products that you would like to produce, ask if they are made in this country. If not it may be an indication that making such items is not feasible for you if you want to make a living of it.
I love working with wood and will likely continue as long as I can. Fortunately I am retired with an adequate income.
