How Blacktail Studio Makes $15K/Month Woodworking

Have you ever seen a stunning handmade piece of furniture and wondered: do they make money woodworking?

Cameron Anderson is owner of Blacktail Studio, a woodworking business that turns resin and recycled wood into beautiful art pieces and furniture, and today we’re touring his studio to see behind the scenes of his business. 

Woodworking started as a hobby for Cameron, whose work as a pilot gave him lots of days off in a row.

Today, his luxury tables, epoxy art installations, and custom woodworking projects sell for as much as $30K a piece. 

His Blacktail Studio YouTube channel is equally successful, with more than 1 million subscribers and millions of views on most of their videos. In our interview today, we’ll get all the details of what it takes to start a successful woodworking business, from the equipment and space you need to get started to how he learned the skills and where he gets the wood. 

Unsurprisingly, many of his clients come to him from his popular YouTube channel, so we’ll also find out how he built such a strong following there, and what kind of content he posts that keeps viewers coming back. 

Along with making his own woodworking projects, Cameron hosts epoxy and woodworking workshops at Blacktail Studio to help other makers learn the craft and design their own pieces. 

We’ll find out how this educational side of the business has helped him grow, and hear some of his tips for succeeding in the woodworking business.
