This question has a LOT of variables.

  • Wood species?
  • Project size (is it a dining room table or a serving tray) ?
  • Type of finish desired?
  • Epoxy involved at all?

In general projects can take a few weeks to a few months until final completion. While the woodworking itself requires hours of labor, please consider finish curing times as well.

As an example –  epoxy takes at least 7-10 days to cure (sometimes longer depending on the pour depth) which then has to be worked with, sanded and finished.

Some finishes take a few days to cure while some can take 30 days to cure.
