Trimmmed do you sell your stuff? If so, where? Do you have a pricelist or website?
I do a couple of small shows a year, or I was. I didn't get out at all in 2006 though. Just didn't have the time. I don't have a website yet, although that is being considered ( read procrastinated ad infinitum) Hopefully this year I will get it in gear.
Just chiming in... I've dabbled a bit. I have a cheezy grizzly lathe (if that's what you want to call it). I'd love to really learn the craft but I have way too many hobbies already.
Let's see some more pictures. I really admire the skill it takes to create a well made piece.
Here is couple more.

Awfully neat. Makes me want to do spindles but I'm addicted to turning bowls. The most enjoyable piece of "furniture" I ever made was a rocking horse made almost entirely of 6/4 walnut with a maple saddle and enormous 8/4 ash rockers. Gave it to my first grandchild 6 years ago and it has withstood the best efforts of her sibs and friends to break it. I figure that she can give it to her grandchildren since it is so thick and sturdy.
I think that making things for children is the most rewarding kind of woodworking and I envy your creation. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Here's a few I like to do. The wooden cups are about 5.5" tall and start out about 2 1/4" diameter. The opening is about 3" deep - just about down to the flare above the stem - which is 7/32" or 5.5mm in diameter. These are hand turned with standard tools on my old Delta 10" . Denser wood is better of course, but I've made them from lighter woods too.
The tagua nut bowl was turned with dental tools on the same lathe. Yes, there is a lip on the lid to keep it from dropping inside the bowl. The bowl is hollowed out somewhat - maybe 3/4" diameter.
