3 day show

[Jim McDonald]

I found it Scott. Holiday 2004, Advent calendar. Sorry it took so long but I swear there are elves that come in my area at night and just throw all my papers in the air! 🤪🤪

Those elves are nomadic! They show up at my place just before I really need to put my hands on something I JUST had.

I hate doing cardholders. That being said I sell 20-30 a day at the farmers market. When we go to Gruff and Gruff we hit the $1 bin first. Bruce gets 3x3x3’ in cherry, sycamore, walnut, etc. I tried Baltic birch but they just don’t sell. I sell 20-30 a day at the market. I have cut outs both sides. I still use Diana Thompson’s designs and any ornaments I like also becomes a cardholder cut out. Biggest seller is the crab, go figure being in blue crab country as the locals say. This is my display tree. You can see the crab. I have one like it for birdhouses and angels. And the elves are still at it.

Pricing? What does your area support?

I sell them for $5.00.

I sell for $6 only because I get the wood for $1 and use poplar for ribs that Bruce gets at the sawmill.

Where do you get the patterns?
Are you using 1/8 solid wood with the poplar center? All 1/8" ?
When you tried BB did you stain different colors?

Have wanted to try these and see a lot selling?

I use alot of Diana Thompson, Sue Mey and Sheila Landry patterns, plus one from magazines and old issues of creative crafts. I mainly use BB for backers and puzzle box bottoms. We buy 6/4 wood from a sawmill inPA and hubby slices and preps to what ever thickness I want. $1 bins are a great find for our cardholders for 3x3x3 pieces. The center rib is poplar as hubby volunteers at an antique sawmill and wood is his “pay”.
