carvinmark said:Would you do some P.R. for me???? Heck at those figures we could do almost a 50/50 split and I would be ahead of where I am now.lol. Seriously,I do know what you mean but when the buyers only have 50.00 to spend and you get them to dig up another 25.00,I gotta take it. You are right, I need the right market.:hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
aggiewoodbutchr said:I deal with this same issue in my woodworking side business. Too many people believe they can have something built cheaper than they can buy it at Walmart. I've learned to let these people go as they're really not potential clients. I've shifted my marketing a bit to emphasize quality craftsmanship, superior materials and customization. Hopefully it works out in the long run. I'd sure like to quit my day job and do this for a living. Best of luck to you!
ps- If you figure this before I do, hook a brotha up

Have you heard of this guy?

Multi tallented guy. Singer, songwriter, comedian AND chainsaw carver! Pretty cool in person too.
Sold!!!!
Congradulations!! It sure helps to sell to piece now and then, these saws are expensive! and bars, and chain, and oil, and files, and spark plugs, and wood, and sandpaper, and stain, and polyurethane, .............well, you get the idea.
I sell more of these than even I can belive. Everybody can afford 20.00. When they watch you from start to finish(with color) in 15 min. I make these out of my cutt-offs from my business-my junk!!!
What's your technique for carving the holes in a morel? I carved my first one this afternoon and carved the holes by making 2 cresent shaped cuts like for an eye socket. Not a bad result but I spent an hour on this one.

I had a look at those Saburr Tooth tools this morning. Very nice looking stuff but not priced for impulse buying. They're on my *to do* list now...
By all means, do post a pic of your newest morels.
