Yes, there is a market. But not great. Most major manufacturers of needles and a series of wood and some are very expensive. A friend of the forest is beautiful, handmade, and are delicious. But that is not cheap. They do take time.

They have a small market, but you have to do too much work to really voice from across the country or the world.

Oh, that's not all perfect - only those that are for sale! You do not see the rejects.
