A fine mighty collection of what looks like extremely well turned items. Are the flexible black tubes Duck Callers?

A fine collection of things on things there Dennis, it'd be good to have a close up and explanation of some of them.

Dennis there are so many things on your stall exciting I have spent quite some time looking at your offerings my conclusion is its a beaut collection of desirables neatly laid out something for everyone IMHO. Some new things for me you have spent a time choosing your timber and other products that work in harmony the novelty factor in the grinder shows fun and attention to the stall from quite aways

Using cards for every item provokes curiousity interested to see that close up. Do you give instructions on refills etc in writing? what do you say ? and finally how did you go on the days or days. Strong time of the year for selling mate. Will look up where Plattsburg is I do hope you missed the extreme snow falls where you live.

Kind regards Peter in Australia 30 degrees celcius here today.:bravo::bravo::bravo: for your showing.

I missed your post Dennis. Some great bits of turning you have on display hope you do well. I like your grinder even though I am not keen on the coloured ply type material normally but this piece looks good as the colours are nice and crisp.

A special thank you for your replies, I will try and answer the questions and comments.

Vic: Sorry to say those long black flexible tubes are deer calls, nothing to do with Ann yet.

Buckeye: The mature cheese blocks are actually Red Mallee burl, I include these with my display, many customers do not know what a burl is, it also stimulates conversation.

Jim: The finish on the mushroom is CA buff to 12,000 grit and polished with medium gloss wax.

Pen Pal: I use by business cards as hangtags with the product info printed on the back. I do not have an instruction sheet for replacing a refill, I usually show the customer how it is done while they are in my booth.
The show I just completed was a two day show here in Plattsburgh and the largest show in this immediate area with about 5,000 people attending, I have one more show coming up and I will done for the season.

Plattsburgh, NY is a small city on shore of Lake Champlain, we are in extreme northern New York about 17 miles from the Canadian border and 60 miles from Montreal, Quebec 50 miles from Lake Placid NY in the Adirondacks, just across the lake from Burlington Vt.

Thanks
