Double up

[OzarkSawdust]

Went to Mexico with friends yesterday, so I had to double up on my orders today. Got two cut today, will glue and clamp tomorrow. Then spray with a couple coats of Shellac. Maybe a coat of Lacquer on top. Two down...one more to go. These crosses are selling well, in addition to the puzzle animals, 4 in total so far.

Seems you are selling well while you are down there.  Great work on the crosses.

I see why they are selling . They are very nice patterns and ended up to be something anyone would probably like to have

Great job people will love them.I made a few crosses a few years back and I will give you a tip try putting a round base for people to set on a shelf on a couple.People like different varieties.Just a idea for ya.

Thank you everyone for the kind words!! I never intended to sell much when I brought the saw down for the winter. Just play around with a couple of craft shows at the 55+ RV parks to get rid of the stuff I was making. It's taken on a life of it's own!! Iggy waved his Poplar board and turned me into a Puzzle Zombie, and I've sold over 75 at the shows in January & February...and still have some craft shows and a car show next month. Not what most of you do...but it's good for the places I'm showing now. 

I was talking with a few people showing them some pictures of other stuff I do...when a guy wanted me to make a cross for his daughter's collection. So I doubled the price of a puzzle and told him I would. After I finished it I sent him a photo and a list of shows I was doing. He told me which one he would pick it up at...and I put it on the table to take orders off of till he picked it up. I got three more orders from it!  Now I have two weeks to fill the orders, crosses and dogs with names, and to replenish my stock before the next batch of shows. 

All I can say is...next year I'm bringing stock!!! I've made enough so far to pay the RV lot rent for 4 months next winter! Not bad for a hobby.
