Excepting the mundane 'rent payer' items, does
your best work, whatever that may be, sell better and for a higher price
to the public or to fellow turners? Granted that turner's can better
appreciate good work, but I wonder for whom the lathes turn.

Interesting question Arch, something that I had never thought about.
For my personal sales results (ie at a craft fair or to people who saw
a piece of mine somewhere and came by the house/shop) the number sold
to other individuals who turn is very low: less than ten items, I'm
sure. Also sell thru a few shops and galleries and really have no feel
for who might have purchased things there, but no shop owner ever
indicated that there had been a lot of sales to other craft persons.
My total sales by whatever routes are probably 1100 to 1200 pieces (my
record keeping is not exactly great!) and I suspect that the vast
majority were to non woodworkers
