I'm sure a market exits for quality turnings as well, but I have a good time
selling my stuff at summer shows. Pays the habit, the heat, and "vacation"
for Susan and I as we do it. If you have an extraordinary expense, add a
Saturday. Got my Daughter's wedding gown this year.

Having visited many of the websites of contributors herein, I've been
quite
curious as to some the economic aspects of selling ones turnings.

Please understand that I'm not seeking any specific information about
anyone, rather I'm simply interested in knowing a little about the
commercial aspect of turning wood. Specifically what sort of market
exists
for quality turnings, and is it possible to make a living selling one's
work, or is it simply a supplement to one's income or retirement?

Please don't read anything into my inquiry. I'm not considering a change
of
career. :-) I'm simply curious.
