Thanks Joe. I carve teddy bear pins (about 2 1/2" high x 2" wide) like the one in my avatar (pic up left). I've been giving them away thinking nobody would want to spend money (like maybe $35 for one). Now you've got me thinking....what do you think? Sorry to hijack guys--but we're here!!! LOL

Thanks,
Bob

Hey Joe,

I just learned the language for the protocol. I believe Bob used the term "hijack." No problem here but I guess protocol is protocol. Did that make it sound like I have a problem here. No - glad to see your work Joe.

John K Karver.
Really great looking geese. jk

Hehehehe,

What fun!

Lynn, it seems to work the opposite for me.....first they buy an expensive piece and then add the geese. I'll mark the price of the mirror W/O geese. They have to ask the price of the geese.....it's not marked. Once they ask....gottcha! Hey, thay are already dropping a few hundred......what's a few bucks more.

Bob, go for it......but remember, that becomes the base price for all your work. People don't like to get confused.....all the prices must make sense. If they ask why this one is this much and the other one is only this.....you've lost em. Best of luck!

Yes Lonnie I do but it's Old stuff and lousey pics too.....I didn't make it. I can't control it so you can't see it! No Offense intended. I'll post good pics here as is approiate....sorry. But in case you missed it, there is this (I hope this works) New here....old carver and this Incised Lindenwald Tree .

Wanna see the blanks for my small geese? Only $125 for 4. (Not kidding)

Thanks Again!

Joe

Nice geese. I sell way to cheap here in SEK.
Bob, I believe you have a fair price but maybe a little higher. Depends on market place also.

Most of the time I carve the larger scrap pieces. Smaller stuff goes into the kindling box. Recently, I've had the idea of taking some scrap wood, gluing up into a bigger block and carving that.
