I'm not necessarily talking about profit, but more of a following or an appreciation of that media.

I'm 59 and use most of those tools all the time. My late mother used them to do projects around her house and to build small pieces of furniture until she was 80. I think it just depends on the individual's strength and familiarity with the tool. Obviously, most older people tend to have a bit less arm and hand grip strength. Also, wearing bifocals under safety glasses is a pain. And I have some trouble releasing the batteries from my cordless drill, but that is more due to residual weakness from surgery I had 2 years ago after breaking my wrist.

Yes, but you have to find your market.
It's more of a craft than an art, I'd say.
Many markets in foreign lands have lots.
People snap it up as an affordable item.
A few people will be good enough for orders.
Some will get commissions for a piece.
So a lot depends on your style & area.
Check out the local arts & crafts shows.
Look around galleries in your town.
Show them a few examples of your work.
They might even exhibit it on commission.

Yes, I've sold wood carvings for years in my store....from hand made ink pens to whimsical art of the area. . . about 25% of my customers appreciate wood art. It's not a high seller but consistant.
