Post ER - I've noticed a reasonable minority, mostly regular age retiree's get bit by the woodworking bug, including furniture - an even smaller minority of the of minority stick with it.
A friend of mine does this, but I now he's got far more invested in his tools and workshop than I will spend on furniture in a lifetime.
Another tip;I can have custom solid quartersawn Oak furniture built for about 1/2 the price of Store bought stuff. Much better quality. The Oak Furniture that I had made will not only last me for the rest of my life, it will be passed on to my daughter. We also have solid Oak pieces that are in our home that were passed on to us from our grandparents that are over 100 years old.
Look for someone in your area that is a woodworker and does this. They like to build a few pieces each year, so that they can write off their tools. My woodworker is an Physician at the Mayo Clinic
