    damn I need to get the tinfoil RobinHood hat out ... cause someones in my mind lol ...!! Spot on mate you nailed it on the head .... I would rather Lee made me a "private" offer that way I dont fcuk up and sell myself short.
    In an earlier post I referred to myself as grey old git, don't know where the grumpy bit came from. I can only guess someone has been talking to my wife!!!

    The general advice about pricing is very sound. It is always difficult to establish a name in the art world, many people have already carved up sheep - they are usually referred to as butchers! I think that a good starting place for your items would be on a site like etsy and see what interest develops. Another option would be to try to get a gallery to display some items. Limiting the numbers to 50 per edition is a good idea. Just my own opinion. Good luck, G.

    Sorry mate my old man is called Geoffrey, it must have been a freudian slip. I'll retract the grumpy bit if you are going to have a huff about it! ;)

    I have to chip in and say that these are works of art. Most artist do not make their own paint and brushes so using tools is part and parcel. I work a lot in wood and your choices are sweet. What size are these pieces?

    BTW I remember Geoffrey when he was in rainbow;-)

    Hi Bruce, they are all 200 x 200 x 30 - 25 mm. And I agree my CNC is a tool that converts my ideas into form :)
