Your inventory is blanks — bought, traded, or chainsawed free from a neighbor's downed maple — and half of it is rough-outs drying for months before the second turning. That's real work in progress the shoebox method can't see. MadeKeeper tracks a bowl from green wood to gallery shelf, with the cost basis honest at every stage.
The app is live. Free during the pilot. Founding rate $19/mo, locked for life.
No card to start. Use it free through the pilot, and lock the $19/mo founding rate for as long as you stay.
Say you finish a 10" maple bowl from a bought blank:
At $120 on the gallery shelf, you kept $91.05 before the gallery's split — and when the same form comes off a free storm-fall blank, you'll see exactly what the chainsaw afternoon was worth.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Rough it out, log it as work in progress, and it waits on the books like it waits on the shelf. When you finish-turn it, the piece completes with its full history — no lost cost, no mystery stock.
Log it at zero cost basis. That's honest — and it means your profit on those pieces is real profit, while your bought-blank pieces show the difference the free wood makes.
Yes. A seconds tier prices discounted pieces separately, so the $45 bowl with the filled check doesn't drag down what your first-quality work appears to earn.
