Inlay
« on: February 22, 2014, 05:41:28 pm »
Many people here in West Texas collect crosses to display in their home, so I made a few that I hope to sell this summer at the street fairs and festivals I attend. 18" tall , 3/8" cedar with maple inlay.

Don't know about West Texas, but here in East Texas they would sell better than Bar B-Q and beer on a Saturday night. Like them all, however the boots &  hat is pretty cool. That should be a hit with the rode group.

Looks as if you have been pretty busy.  That are all great, you have done an excellent job.  I hope they sell well for you.

Thank you for the kind comments.  Cedar is a very pretty and popular wood, is cheap ($2.10/ Board foot)  I have eighteen of these made and have already sold two. I find them easy and quick to make and total material cost is $1.55.  Inlay is a useful technique in decorating various items.  I use it on whatever I can and the crosses is my latest idea.

I hope this is not inappropriate to ask, but, what will something like these sell for?  They're all beautiful.
