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 days, to 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.
On the other end of the spectrum, cedar planter boxes generally take 1-3 days to complete, pending the scope of the project.
Some finishes take a few days to cure while some can take 30 days to cure.
