It's all about balance! Who decides what the "value" is anyhow!? My experience has been once I've sold something to someone with money will I only then get more recognition based on that persons worth regardless how many hours on end I've worked on it! And I'm willing to bet your canoe was worth far more than $6-700... sigh ... if I didn't get paid I would still create tho however the bills still need paying 😁
