Bob - One other thought. Since you live in PA, you've a fairly large population and some fairly large population centers (that's a good thing in this instance). Unlike someone in North Dakota, you've many outlets for your work, and you're generally looking to sell to higher-income individuals.
That typically means craft shows and the like are out - they're populated by bargain hunters. There are a couple of other outlets, though, that do attract higher end customers - semi-galleries and interior designers.
By "semi-galleries", I'm thinking not of a pure art gallery (though that's not a bad thought - your table would look very well underneath a large oil painting in a gallery). There are a number of stores now that are essentially boutiques for hand-made furniture, art, "doo-dads" and other things - we've one locally called "Accipiter", and they are always looking for unique designs to add to their appeal. Because they sell individually-made items, they understand that a relatively high price must be asked, and even though they will mark the table up 50-100%, your portion will likely vastly exceed what you can get at a woodworking fair or craft show.
