Tip #4 - BE UNIQUE

 

When it comes to making money with chip carving, having a unique niche with your carving is something to consider.

 

After developing your chip carving skill (Tip #5) to the point where you are confident each carving is worthy of a blue ribbon and others recognize your talent, it is worth your time to evaluate your style and think about trying something new.

 

Experimenting and exploring various creative ideas is well worth

the time when thinking about selling your carvings. 

 

But remember, just because something is new and different does not necessarily mean it will be more appealing to potential customers and lead to more sales. That’s where experimenting comes into play. Experiments have the goal of seeing what works.
