I don't turn a lot, but I do sell the occasional piece through gallery, and
I dont' think I've ever intentionally turned two pieces the same - like
others said, I like to see what the wood "makes" me do - and looking at what
sells, I don't see any pattern - heavy, light, shiny, dull, natural or rough
edges or smooth, dyed or not, spalted or not - so, I make what I like, and
let people buy what they like. but, I'm not giving up my day job
either.....

like any artisan, you need tecnical skills (and there are many better than
I) and you need to develop an ability to use those skills - lack of skills
can be a preventive force, but even great skills don't make you a real
artist, right?

So my questions is:

How long did it take you to find The One type of turning
you do almost exclusively?
or
How long have you been searching for The One?
