    Yes good luck and please share! I have a craft fair I could attend, but just don't know what to make? I thought of the Lincoln head penny banks, but for the cost of material I can't make much profit. I found using a clear pine board is about $28.00 and I don't know what I can get for the banks? The rule of thumb of double the price of material, not sure if anyone will pay $56.00? I thought of heart boxes. Last year I tried nut cracker X-mas tree ornaments and few other different ones. Then some wildlife carvings natural and painted. I brought home most of the items I made!

    So if you don't mind sharing please tell me what sells! Of course anybody else that has suggestion I would appreciate it!

    Well, even though attendance was down a little, this was the best craft fair I have had for Wood Wisdom. As for the best seller? Cribbage boards led by about 4 to one. Recipe boxes were second. We had a good assortment of items from signs to awards and even Photographs for sale. But they really liked the cribbage boards. They ranged in price from $40 to $70 each. Kathy and my son, James did most of the work.

    Hi,

    Great cribbage boards.
    Would you post a picture of the recipe boxes? How much did you charge for one?

    Congrats, I'm glad this was a good show for you. It looks like you were prepared and your setup looks great.

    I'd love to see more close ups of your work as well.
