That is great news, I used to go once a year to catch up with an old friend from the Peninsula WTG, when the heritage park had their open day. Thanks for the invitation. I may pop in one day if the chance permits. thanks for letting me know.
Thanks to everyone for your input, all have been very good suggestions, I do have a couple of local outlets that may be worth pursuing. I also think I should diversify and start to make more useful items and less of the simple bowls as some of you have suggested. Any how, for the moment back to diggin' post holes.

Likewise, I sell everything I make. I ran out of friends and family to keep giving pieces to many years ago, and if I had kept giving to them I expect they would have run away from me by now, anyway.
Like Paul, I sell on consignment, in my case with a 44% commission. They deserve every bit of that.
Keeping up with the backfill at the gallery is my challenge. Once you have a spot in the gallery you have to keep it stocked to retain it.
In my case it is a hobby (actually more of a pre-occupation) that pays for itself and I never think twice about buying whatever I need for the workshop as that doesn't come out of household funds.
Shedbound - aim to sell or put your work to a good purpose, it adds to the enjoyment of turning.Stay sharp and stay safe!
