Great work. You planning on selling them at a craft show or give them away as gifts?

I am hoping to sell some of them this fall at either a craft show or have them put up on a web site. If they dont sell, then everyone knows what they're getting for Christmas!

I hear ya! I had a yard sale about 6-months ago and had half a dozen wood spirit and carricature canes out for sale. A couple of nice young ladies stopped by and gave me some song and dance about working for an on-line company that sells canes and they wanted to buy mine on consignment and sell them. They even came back for a second look and told me that their supervisor would be contacting me that week. I verified the website but I'm still waiting for the call. Since then I've decided that I don't want to sell them and I give them away to whomever I run across that likes them and needs them..... It doesn't cost me all that much except time and it's a great feeling to give someone something that they really can use and enjoy!
