From Sketch to Sale
One night last winter, while delivering a finished project to a client who happens to work at my favourite pub, a pub patron turned to me and asked if I built mailboxes. I quickly thought: They're made of wood, are box-like, need to open and close, kinda similar to birdhouses, and I've made 1,000 birdhouses, so whaddaya say, Gordie?
I said, "Yes."
And as is usually the habit, once I finished an adequate sketch, I worked on more than one item, hoping to capitalize on my extended efforts. I sold the first one, gave the second as a Christmas gift, and have the last one ready for a Spring sale.
