I agree Neil. For me if I had to produce enough pens to make a living it would cease to be in any way enjoyable and become a chore. Like you I do it to supplement my income.


I think that applies to most forms of woodturning. Most of the professionals I know of make their money from teaching rather than selling their work. Even production turners like Richard Findley supplement their income with teaching, demonstrations and writing.
