Pricing

[jimbo]

How do you price your scroll work for selling, I sell mainly at fairs and market days and have been selling wood turning and general wood craft, the formula for wood turning is five times the cost of the wood $5x 5= $25 that is a rough guied but does not always work.
I don't think one could charge for time as I for one would not sell much, I do this as  hobby but at the end of the day I do not want to lose money
Anyones thoughts would be appreciated

Try some other sites to see how they price.  Here are a few:

There are others. 

Part of it depends on materials.  Say for an Eagle head stack cut in plywood and stained and finished and mounted in a simple frame, maybe $15 to $20.  Same pattern cut in maple burl with at least two natural edges will be $65 to over $100 due to unique material.  Simple ornaments are about $4.

Best wishes.
