    Wood ID help

    Disagree with persimmon. The bark is not rough enough. The bark is consistant with poplar and the black stain is consistant with poplar. Where persimmon does get some black 'heartwood' i have never seen it to this extent...usually very small black patches. Liriodendron tulipifera fits best. Is...

    Craft shows

    Also, treat your event, not only as an opportunity to sell your items, but as a brochure for what else you may do. No one can buy a dining room table from a craft show and carry it home. But, having a larger more exp;ensive item or two that you may not sell, is a chance for people to see what...

    Craft shows

    Here's another thing I have learned. When picking a craft show, avoid venues where the craft show is secondary to the main event.

    Asheville Hardware

    Large display area for lumber and slabs...easy to see and get to. Bins of scrap lumber.....this went both ways. They would buy and sell scraps. They would sell your wood and tools on commission. They had good machine and hand tools. High end finishes, glues and such. Verneer, dowels and small...
