Nice words Barbara, this forum does not get as much attention as it should I do not know why.
 Steve offers great patterns for free and deserves  more praise then he receives,

I have been selling on ebay for about 20 yrs NOT woodworking items mostly old automotive and electronic items and have had only a few problems.  Any selling in today's computer oriented markets is very competitive. Handmade items are always subject to the buyers opinion as  once they receive the item it may not look exactly like it did in the photos.
  For ebay I figure about a 15% overhead .

It is a fun way to kill time and you can complete a project or make some firewood in usually less then 1 day.

You can't always catch a thief but the camera sure did its job and caught him.

As stated above any wood you like is ok a soft wood will cut easier but will need a conditioner/sealer to keep the stain color more even . A hard wood will be harder to  cut (just cut a little slower and more blade changes) but will stain more evenly.
 For stains I have been using the gel stains and find they are easier to work with.
