OTOH, did you observe the amount of time that went into these pieces, on

couple years, he isn't getting rich by woodworking.


If he sells one set every two years that is $60,000 a year. In my book
that is a *very* good living - and for doing something he loves. The
material cost on the two tables probably isn't more than a couple of
thousand, all the cost is in the labor. If I thought I could gross
$60K annually doing woodworking I'd be all over it.
