Hello everyone,
I haven't posted in a while and acutally haven't turned any thing in some time. The last thing I did was 5 new peppermills for my site. I'd like to start turning some more pens but have held off due to the ones on my site already not selling.
I think they look rather cool myself but folks don't seem to be interested in them. Don't know if it's the design or it just doesn't work for pens. I got these design ideas from (of all places) a magazine article about a guy that makes custom made fishing rod handles. I thought they would make interesting pens using the elliptical patterns so I figured them out and made some.
My web sales are way off! I am seeking some advice from you guys if I may, regarding places on the web where you might sell your pens. I really like making pens and working out interesting designs but need a good high traffic site to put them on to offset slow website sales. I've tried ebay to sell on but don't want to sell my stuff for $0.99 like many others I've seen.
Anyway, I've attached some pics of my pens and would appreciate your thoughts and comments as to their sellability.
Thanks,
David
