Well yah you need to sell some. Giving them to charity is the best thing to do. I am sure the charities can get some good bucks for your pen creations. The rest of them you need to sell so you can get more $ to buy more kits,wood, and best of all more or better tools.I guess I probably should sell some of these pens, but I seem to give them away for charity/auctions and to some of the Marines that work with us. The others sit in a box in my closet...I guess I should do something with them.

I assume it includes the some who do both...I probably has $1000 in pens and somewhat more than that in other things that I sell to other penmakers.Are these in just pen sales or does this include the guys selling stuff to pen makers?
I want to meet the 50,000 and up guys and pay for an apprenticeship. I want to take this seriously.

I think one of the coolest things about this (aside from some of the totals a few of you posted!) is that there was only a 3 vote difference from 2010 to 2011.
My wife does a LOT of statistical analysis for her work, and some of it has rubbed off on me. One thing I've learned is that 2 points don't make a trend- is there a poll from 2009 by chance?
