I'm just thinking that if I were to sit down and start carving a piece of hardwood into a new wild-looking cane, and then after umpteen hours of working on it and sanding it and staining it and varnishing it I decide to sell it, I think I'd be wanting more than a hundred and fifty bucks.

There's mass-produced churned-out so-called 'art', and then there's unique hand-carved art.

Well me too, but with my talent I doubt if anything I carved would be worth even a hundred and fifty cents!
