Having viewed the thread from gus3049 about to burn or not, the question is what is it worth.
If I turn a pen, what will people pay. I pay 50p for the wood and about £ 2.50 for the kit. It takes me, (I am a beginner) about 30 minutes, ok it depends on the quality, but I don't reckon it is too bad, what can I sell it for and where. I am not asking to keep me and the wife in champers, but neither do I want to undersell either myself or you out there who rely on selling their goods to live.
A friend of mine lives in California and sells 6inch bowls for about £30!!
My wife makes embroidered cards and bead jewelry, can she sell them, can she h**l. Am I alone in thinking that people in this country are not prepared to pay what it costs to make stuff. OK I know that really good stuff will sell, but the question is. Is there a market for the sort of stuff that many of us turn out.
OK rant over, hope you had a good Xmas, and I wish you all a good new year, and thanks for the advice that appears on these pages.
Regards
Rod
