It was also a busy week for me trying to complete projects for yesterday's show. Finally got everything done, well almost. As I was setting up the harvest bin at the show, I realized I had forgotten to grind down the screws for the handles. They had penetrated to inside the drawers about 1/16". Nobody else noticed.
The show was not as successful as others but that was no surprise as I did not have the usual assortment of smaller items that most people are looking for. The two main items, the harvest bin and oak doll cradle did not sell but attracted a lot of attention. I still enjoyed the day, as the social aspects are fun and seeing some of the fine and creative work of the other exhibitors is always interesting. From a financial point of view I figure I just about broke even so it was not a total loss.
I have attached a few pictures of my display. Mr & Mrs Frosty, seen in the picture, now have a new home.
I decided to add a little colour to one of my three dimensional tic-tac-toe games, but the two natural stained ones sold and the colourfull on stayed on the table. I guess that says something about the attraction of wood.My dear wife is talking about doing a show at the seniors home on the weekend or next week and since I don't have much inventory I may be busy again this week. Then maybe I can divert to Chistmas shopping.
Have a Safe and Fun week!

The cutting boards though are a bit of my design after I fould up while trying to make the original plans. In order to salvage the expensive maple, I modified the shape and added some walnut plugs for contrast.
