Thanks Max, but I don't think you can call me "commercially successful".
Lucky is more appropriate.

Hi Max,
I sell most of what I make, which is predominantly bowls and hollow
vessels.
I'm not very prolific but sell about 20 pieces per year. In the past I
have
sold them to friends, family and through a couple of craft boutiques.
This
was not the best venue for this type of work (too expensive compare to
other
items there) but it took no effort (i.e.: sitting in a booth) as it was
all
sold by others for a small percentage. I recently have been accepted
into
a
new gallery in our town and will send all higher end pieces thru there.
Its
a good deal as I will be the only woodturner and my stuff will be
sitting
next to some pretty high paintings and other art. I still may do one
boutique a year (a friend of mine runs it) but will only sell small
items
like kitchen magnets, ornaments and such.

Your work appears excellent, Tony. It's easy to see why you've been
commercially successful.
