Advice needed

[thewire]

Hi all I despratly need some help, My first idea was to make intarsia using exotic wood, but soon found out that a disebility I have makes it imposible to get the matching cuts right as I have rather a bad shake so I turned to segmantation using one inch MDF. This realy works as if I do wonder a little with my cut it still fits together. I thought what I was doing was just ordanry segmentation but I have just read on another site that it is sculptured segmentation,my problem is I have shown a peice half finished on a border terrier web site to see what feed back I get and one or two are interested. My problem is how do I price these peices of work ???

I have a firm policy of charging $20.00 an hour for time spent on each project. Then add in shop supplies and a bit to help pay for tools. I add all that up, look at the total have a good laugh/cry and then guess what people will pay. My best bet is try and find others in your area and see what they charge.

several years ago i started selling intarsia at $1 a piece, i have since raised prices at almost every year. Now i do it Alan's way, , if things do not sell, the next show i lower the price a tad, it it sells good i raise it. Another big guess is what will people buy this week, month, year. But it is still a lot of fun making the stuff!!
