The California Avocado Festival was this weekend, and I took 228 pieces to sell ... including 12 made with the new Probotix Nebula.

Of the 12, 5 pieces sold at their first event. I'm impressed!

Sold were half of the trivets. Price was $35/2, or $20 for 1. I sold 2 pairs and a single, for total revenues of $90.

Yes, I'm getting rich.

Also produced, but not sold, were 2 simple racetrack cribbage boards made from Bubinga.

On. My. Way.

I'm thinking grooves/flutes on the bottom side would do it.

Very nice design on the trivets, Henry - clean and simple! I've been wanting to make some of those on our CNC... one of these days, maybe.

Henry, very nice like the rest of your work. What did you use to mark the trivets with your logo?

Good job, man. I like 'em.

I was wondering the same thing Barry . I’m assuming it was done with a laser engraver ?

I work with a laser engraver; she brands all of my work. Even though I could switch to CNC branding, I have no intention of doing so.

Fortunately, she's a bit more advanced in her company, so she's become a great source of referral business as well. She does the laser work; I do the wood work. Win, win.

I wanted to make children's blocks for granddaughter # 1, and she helped me. Her daughter has an art show coming up and needed art frames for her paintings, and I helped her.

Win, win.
