Hi I am a member of coombe abbey woodturners and next year we will be holding a Craft/Wood show.With emphasis on the wood side we are looking for exhibitors and demonstrators to attend the show want to come along and sell your ware send me a PM We could do with a chainsaw carver and a Timber Miller. I doubt if we will be able to pay for demonstrations but most of our proceeds got to support the air ambulance this event will be held in the grounds of Coombe Abbey in Coventry and will be just a one day event Coombe abbey will be able to supply the timber for milling and carving I know it sounds cheeky to not pay for demonstrators but it's all for a good cause ps Coombe Abbey woodturners are a non profit making charity

I would be looking in the bottom of the pond ,something odd there with the bubbles coming up Can't see it being the oil it would float on the top what sort of filtration does the pond have if it was sediment from the bottom of the pond you would smell it a mile away

Any wood with character should be saved But turners are as tight as tight can be Find the right ones to deal with I would tend to ignore the woodturners clubs

Great piece of timber shame you are so far away I would be happy to give £25 for it especially to a charity

Sale or return is ok but the very posh gallery I was in charged 100% commission plus vat on top Don't get many sales at that rate
-
Hi Muttley I agree it's getting harder to sell stuff nowadays Getting charged around £150 for a stall and then struggling to get the right price The mirror I made the other week wouldn't even sell for £60 I am getting talked into doing commissions for less and less money just to keep ticking over
-
Used to do the Woodfair but £150 for a small stall just isn't worthit
-
can't find anything on the internet about it whereabouts is it
