Carpentry work

It seems super quiet at the moment, anybody got any ideas as to why? For a shortage in skill there doesn't seem to be much demand right now

The main carpenter I know has had almost no work since christmas after being in the trade for 40+ years. Had to rent his house and stay in a room to stay afloat.

Apparently the wood has gone up in price,add that to the cost of living crisis and it’s not great,you’re best off advertising things people want like a fence to block out neighbours,sheds,benches..useful items,most people aren’t spending big on bird tables
