I've got a foot in the door for sales...

Tonight I had some final work done on a tattoo I got last month. During that first visit talking with the tatt artist, I told him I did woodturning and making things blah blah. He was interested in seeing one of my bottle stoppers I embed a skull in the top.

So lastnight I made one up and took in with me tonight. He saw it and his eyes got big and was impressed. Asked how much I wanted for it. It was made of Bubinga with also 3 burned rings in the center. I said I would usually sell it for $45.00, but gave it too him. He then offered me a space in his shop to sell some more. He wants me to bring in 6 more of different styles, and will work out some things later if they start moving.

Plus I may have 2 more at work sold, well some variation of it....Wha Who !!!

Just thought I'd share.

Thanks everyone. I just got the pics uploaded, excuse the poor quality. Still learning presentation...hehe. But yeah, he was really stoked. This place is really clean, good rep place, he's the owner aswell. and I thought it was cool for him to realize an artists quality
in what I made. I'll let you know how it goes. Even if they don't sell well. its still an opp. had to try. Got to find a market some how and since he thought it may have a shot. why not.
