Life is good!  Work wood!

www.inthewoodshop.org Woodworking Survey Results

September 1, 2002 - Informal rec.ww Stash Survey

Now, this one isn't my doing. One of the other wreckers decided to post a question asking how much wood was in the stash of the other contributors. Below are the results as I have collected them. Please note that the groupings are entirely my own, except the Dealer group - which is in fact a hardwood dealer. I grouped them as such as it seemed logical to describe lumber stashes in that way. The survey numbers are small so it is just a quick generalization taken from those willing to admit to the size of their piles... ahem, pile.

Group NameStash Size
(in board feet)
% of Respondents
have a few bd ft 100 or less 21%
keep some on hand 101 to 500 30%
have a nice stash 501 to 1500 27%
I think I need another shed 1501 to 5000 9%
rolling in it 5001 to 10000 9%
dealer 10000+ 3%

Note that the numbers may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
