Best way of selling your made furniture

what kind of resin are you using to stablise the "soft" wood ??

 

 

It's called solar rez and I had to import from the states.

 

You can use a catalyst but the good thing is it goes hard in 5 mins in sunlight so is easy to use.

 

The normal use for it is surfboard repair.

Just got as standard letter from them....

 

I have already got a site for Alaskan users to sell their wood.... and it's free... and uptake on people uploading to it has been absolutely abysmal! :sneaky2:treet| Wood Forum

 

I did a thread for it a while ago here.

 

It's a very basic forum but my plan was to build up a load of small wood producers and then go to the woodworking forums and show the woodworkers where they can get their wood from.

 

But there's so little on there it's not worth it at the mo.....

Just registered Rob. Maybe you should re-invite arbtalk members again?

Walnut wall hanging made for a customer.

 

Wall hangings are a great way to sell a piece of wood especially if there's cracks, decay that would otherwise have made it pretty useless.

 

This one was a nice plank anyway...

Yet those same mushrooms at the right show or shop would make £50 each. :sneaky2:

 

It all comes down to being able to get your wood in front of the right people... making it is actually the easy bit.

 

I agree, selling the work is definitely harder than making it. I know alot of great carvers/makers who really struggle promoting themselves and getting the work seen. The internet is a fantastic way to put your work out there but it's no substitute to experiencing a piece of furniture or art up close and personal.

Loving your work, by the way Rob.:001_smile:
