Thanks for the kind words ... about my still being a "young man."
I'm still a man, (I think), but certainly not young!It's white oak, stained and colored by natural rot and sitting on the ground stuck in the earth attached to the log that I salvaged it from.

Well folks, I have been talking with Rod about selling these here. He says it is OK with him.
The only problem I see is the notion that we are not to make money off of each other with stuff we sell here. I know there has been some profiteering by some in the past and I want to steer clear of that trap. However, I make my living with my hands. These could be a nice little sideline for me, a profit-making venture, hopefully! But, I need to make a living with the product of my hands. :blush:
To make my shop rate these would have to start about $70 + shipping and for really extraordinary (expensive) material they could easily go significantly over $100. This seems like a good bit of money to me. :0 However, when I see mass-produced ceramic and glass ashtrays selling in this price range and more, it doesn't seem outrageous for a hand-sculpted, one of a kind piece. (At least to my mind.)
I am preparing to make a group of these which then I would offer for sale to whomever is interested, so you would know exactly which one you are buying. I have secured some more "interesting" material that should make some really striking pieces.
So, I am seeking the feeling of the group. Is this appropriate for me to do on CP?
If so should I do it in the BST forum or in the Retailer Forum?
If not, I will go and setup on Ebay.
I'd rather just offer these here but if necessary I will go there.
I am really enjoying this place and everyone here, and I don't want to f**k it up by doing something that will bring ill-repute or hard feelings. I would rather forgo the small amount of income involved and forget about it rather than screw up relationships here.
Thanks for your input, everyone!
