It's all about finding the clients. If your going to do furniture it needs to be high quality and unique. You will need to find a high end circle of clients to sustain this type of ww. As has been said here before, everyday furniture can be found for a lot less than you can make it. Get a job to support your passion, hone your skills (both ww and presentation), find an outlet. I have an interior designer to the high end market that takes me to the client. She provides me with as much work as I want and I can be selective. I work for her exclusively as far as designers go, and have done a number of pieces for her personal residence (for cost of materials and minimal labor). I'm not any better than anyone else and there are many here that far surpass my abilities, but marketing makes the difference. I have another occupation and only do 6 to 8 projects per year which is a nice supplement.
I do it right, cause I do it twice.
