How can I get my own furniture designs to market?

If I have an idea for a piece of furniture, and believe I can make money off of it; what is the best way to get it to market?

This isn’t a question about the patent or how to market it. I am asking more about:

- Should I find a competent carpenter to team up with, or hire an independent contractor? Or even find a warehouse or something that can cut the parts, and I can do the attaching myself?
– What is a fair market price to pay a craftsman? What percentage would he expect?

…Think Martha Stewart wannabe…
