How can you get the most from Early Access?
- Make a project list first. Figure out what you will make this winter so that deals will help you fulfill your plans rather than take their place.
- Combine categories. Match a bowl blank with a turning blank, or a guitar set with a fingerboard, to achieve deals worth $75 and $149 without purchasing useless items.
- Check sizes and species. Compare sizes to your plans since a discount is helpful only when a piece of wood works for you.
- Plan for acclimation. Allow new wood to settle in your workshop before cutting. The article kiln dried vs air dried lumber provides more information about the issue.
Is Early Access a good time for beginners?
Yes. A sale is a risk-free way to test out a new material or project. Novices may begin by purchasing small projects like turning blanks or cutting board blanks, focusing on one particular project and buying only what it requires. This way, you get to learn without having to spend too much money on the wood.
What comes after Early Access?
The Thanksgiving Wood Sale takes place from November 23 to November 26, while the Black Friday Sale runs from November 27 to November 29, offering plenty of opportunities to save all week long. Early Access gives you the chance to see everything available so you can create your wish list.
