Spent months on custom wooden maps... now I'm torn between selling or gifting

I've been making detailed wooden maps of local areas... it started as a fun project. Some folks tell me to set up an online shop and make some cash from it. They say people would pay for unique decor like that. But part of me just enjoys the process and giving them to friends... turning it into a job might ruin that. I heard from a buddy who started selling his crafts and now he dreads his workshop time. What's your take? Keep it pure or go for the side hustle?

Man, that's a tough spot. What would you even do with the money if you sold them? Like, is there a specific goal or would it just pile up?

So you wanna turn your happy fun time into capitalist dread, huh? Those free gifts for friends are about to become angry customers asking why their map didn't arrive in two days. Your buddy's story says it all, now he just stares at his tools and sighs!

Seriously, your buddy's problem isn't selling crafts, it's not setting rules! You can totally sell some without turning the whole thing into a chore.
