The art show is over now, and almost nothing was sold, seams no one has money to spend

But a few Items was sold, ( I think 5 total) and I was one of the lucky ones, I sold a mid sized turning $250

I am happy
this one

Pretty cool sale. But I bet you have lots more time in it than that. I would have weeks, months, etc. etc. in something like that.

Way to go, Earl. Those "artsy" folks recognize true art when they see it!

Well I do them just to have something to do, then when I get a few done my wife tells me to get that junk out of the house
So now maybe I can buy some more wood
and make more junk to put in her house

You know how people are when money is tight, Earl. They buy only the high quality stuff they want.

This is why i want a two story shop with a second floor so i can have the "Ultimate Man's Cave" whereby i can utilize the second floor to hang all of my treasured "wildlife harvests" that my wife doesn't particularly care for.



Plus i will not be inside the house so i can sit on my couch up there and sand, file and work on my custom duck calls, turkey calls and tie flies. I feel your pain brother....
