>Hey Joel,

I love to go to art shows, especially the fancy high-end ones. Your booth would fit right in with those shows. Nice work and nicely displayed. How did you do at the show?

>Excellent work and thanks for showing it. Maybe it's me but depending on the piece, I agree with Eduardo and perhaps some should be with a white background so as not to diminish the effects of your works.

>I like the black. To me white lets the lighter woods blend into the back ground. Having all the supports and shelves the same color makes the pieces stand out.

>Nice looking booth Joel! Did you build the display shelves yourself? I saw similar ones while at a show this past weekend. After years of not doing shows, I am starting to get back into it, and have to come up with some display ideas. I am thinking of adapting some furniture pieces so that they can hold turnings and still show off my furniture skills for those looking for bigger pieces.

>Hey Joel,

I see a big problem with this booth -- the chair ! With such beautiful work on display, I'm sure you don't have much time to sit down and work the crosswords !

Great display.

Safe Spinning,

>Bill, they are the stackable foldable kind. I bought one for a prototype and after looking at them, decided that there was now way I could make them for $30 each. They were light colored wood when I got them, but the work seemed to fade into the wood, so I painted them black last summer.

>After 1 show I learned to wear good shoes! But being able to steal a minute or 2 helps. Thanks for the compliment!

>Thanks Joel! I am thinking about making a set of shelves, but for $30.00 a set, I could probably fork out to save some time, at least for this show. Would you care to reveal a source?

BTW, about chairs and shows - I used to do business to business trade shows, selling my pens and boxes as corporate gifts. One of the things they told us at the show "training seminar" was to never sit down. So we never do, unless there is no one in sight, or we need a break for a few minutes, in which case the other one is up and at 'em.

We were at a craft show last weekend where a lot of the people were parked on their patooties, and seemed to be more involved in reading, "crafting" or doing anything other than encouraging people into their booths. I am the next best thing to a carnival midway man, practically dragging people in so they can spend their money with me. ;-) When asked how the show was going for them, most of these chair polishers commenced to blame the economy, the weather, or whatever as to the reason why they weren't doing well. I think part of it was they were disconnected from their audience.

==========================================

Ditto! I would like to get a few also. While my turning skills are good, my flat-wood skills are not.

Retiring...
