Week 7 at Farmers Market

[Iguanadon]

As more and more of you decide to give the puzzles a try, I figure I'll let you know how my sales are going... Just got home from this weeks farmers market and sold 29 puzzles today, slightly above average.  A very broad range of animals purchased today by all of the wonderful folks roaming around the market.

Make them, and they will come...  

And seriously, thanks to those of you who have purchased patterns.  It makes me happy that Harvey's patterns are getting a sort of revival right now and are of interest to many of you.  Harvey says thanks as well.

Great cutting you're doing there keep up the good work.

Glad to hear it Scott !

[DWSUDEKUM]

Glad you did well.  That area always seems to be more craft oriented than the rust belt.  Thanks for sharing these pics with us.

Sounds like you continue to do well Scott.  I am glad so many people are appreciating your work and talent in cutting them.  Nothing like having people buy your work for affirmation of your time and talent well spent.  Thanks for keeping us up to date on how its going but shhhhh - now my husband wants to know when I'm going to sell some! (He was looking over my shoulder at your post.  )

Glad your doing well with them. Just out of curiosity what's the price range your selling them for and type of wood you use for them? Thanks for sharing

Hi Newfie,

I use poplar because I like the color variations in the wood, it adds an added "dimension".

I sell them all for $25 each.  I thought about charging a little more for some of the more complex ones, but then there are also some that are simpler, so in the end it all evens out.

Great job Scott I will be back soon for some more patterns once I get through what I have already

     I do this same type of pricing for my sales at our local farmers market.  Keeps it simple and it lets you know which items are the most popular regardless of price.
