I think the "Reality Check" is that a member of the buying public
thought your work is the same value. Remember that most of us turn for
other turners to appreciate and forget that 'other folk' don't
appreciate what we think is 'good'. At our club's booth at the county
fair we put a variety of small pieces on display. It is incredible how
many times something I think is a piece of dreck is the most admired
piece by the visiting public.

If you want to sell something, give it a try. You might be surprised
what others are willing to pay for, and love.

The wife and I went to the "Vintage Show" (crafts fair) this weekend, cuz my
neighbor went the day before and reported "there is one booth (out of about 400)
with turned bowls there and his stuff is just like yours... a little bigger, but
the same quality, and his prices are between $30 and $200!"
