My output lately breaks down about like this:
10% "throw-away": stuff that breaks or is too ugly to see the light of day.
25% "learning experience": stuff that will probably get tossed eventually as I get better and/or run out of storage space.
30% "ok, I guess": stuff I don't mind giving to friends/relatives who have seen enough of my pieces to know it's not my best work.
25% "good": good enough to sell or give away to people who might be judging all my work by that one piece.
10% "keepers": stuff good enough for my personal collection.
The "keepers" and "throw-away" percentages are fairly constant, but the ratio between "good" and "ok, I guess" goes up as I get better and down as I discover new forms/techniques.
The low throw-away rate is biased by the fact that almost everything I do is with dry wood. On the one hand, it's more difficult (physically harder) to work with...on the other hand, it's easier to work with because I'm not dealing with a lot of movement/drying/cracking issues.
(Just a question of low standards, I guess.
