re: Turned Christmas Trees

BTW, for any of you who sell at craft fairs and such, these trees seem to sell pretty easily.  I don't do shows but I made  several trees of various sizes and designs last year and people who came to look at the vintage Christmas sale, where my wife sells stuff she has collected over the last year but doesn't want to keep, saw them and asked to buy them.  They paid between $45 to $55 dollars for the larger (>10 inches) or more ornate ones and $30-40 for smaller ones.  The pencil trees were particularly popular and might go for more.  Since they were basically made out of firewood and a big bunch of pencils I bought at a garage sale for $5, they only cost a couple of hours of my time.  Of course since she sold them, I had to make some more for her.
