    I know that it is not Valentine's day but...

    here is some FTD for you.

    Trying to make something that SELLS.

    Red Mallee, Spalted Maple and copper.

    Not much turning involved and to be frank, they were a pain in the rear but I hope they sell.

    All comments welcome.

    Those are great. How are you aging the copper stems?
    May all your turnings be smooth,

    Toney...

    These pieces are exquisite. If they don't sell, I suggest you pack up and move to a locale with a greater appreciation of fine art.

    Those are great looking. Cannot see any reason why you would have any problem selling out of them quickly...

    PITA, for sure, but those are without doubt true art! Great work, and just beautiful with the black vases.

    I don't know what your hourly rate is going to be, but those are sure to sell. Very creative and great job!

    Beautiful Toney. Really a nice job. Those should do well.
