A little re-stock. These are not meant to be all the same in size but they do use some of the scrap pieces of wood up. Still need at least another 6 so that I have plenty of spares.

Presume she's popped out because she was peckish.

Admire your dedication to customer needs satisfaction Derek, afraid keeping up with the needs of my local wood supplier is enough of a tie of my shop time for me.

Got boxes of those sort of oddments, so much for reducing the wood pile, embarrassed to admit that I'm just using them up as temp. hot glue holding spigots or packing for the oddball shape clamping.

Suspect something along those lines would go down well at the local Village Hall Xmas market I'm being pressurised into showing my face at if I could be bothered to get my self in gear, why are folks never satisfied with your odd voluntary help and keep pressurising for more.

Folks e-mailing table registration documents and Boss passing comments about space being a premium in the dinning room I'm sure are just designed to wear a body down.
This is a hobby folks, I'm old enough to be grumpy and have a life of my own, and choose how I spend my free time! well one can always dream can't one.
 
Still got to replace other stock like a decorated bowl, two tea lights, two hollow forms a larger size box and some spalted bowl which seem to disappear as fast as I put them on the stall(that lot sold in one outing.

Luckily we only do about 7 or 8 events in the year. Not reducing the wood pile at all this end two months ago I had about 10-15 bowl blanks I seem to have jumped to 70+ as of yesterday. The dustmen took away 3 bags of shavings from my roughing out section.
 
They're great Derek!

I shall blatantly steal your project idea and make some myself!

Muahahahaha!

Can't you find a gardener to use it as weed suppressant or a stables maybe that could use the stuff?

It goes with the garden waste so does get recycled I have had so many people say they want it but don't collect so gave up that route

A pro turner at the club makes them as key fobs - more as a novelty than a practicality, I would think. :D
