Hello All,
I have had a request to provide a few samples of my wood spirits to a store that sells a large variety of items including antiques ,stained glass etc.They would like to try some of these on consignment.I haven't sold any before and was wondering what type of price should go on them.I posted pictures before.
Any ballpark ideas would be helpful.
Thanks !!!!!

Love to see some most recent photos of your woodspirit's. If you can help me with a few questions and photos of your work, I may be able to help you with establishing a fair price. How much time to carve one on the average? What size are the carvings, or do they vary and by how much if so. Are they pieces of work you hate to part with? How long ago have you carved them, are they dated and sighed? How much are the retailers marking up your work? What type of wood, or varities of wood are your woodspirits carved from, and what type of supply do you have? Is the wood expensive or is it found wood. Do you have a large inventory of woodspirits, or just a few carvings that you would be interested in seeing how they would fare on the retail market? Heck let me see a picture posted, maybe I'll buy one for my collection!

Hi Mark
I don't have a large inventory,have only a dozen or so carved and this happened because of a neighbour who saw them and liked them so asked if I would place some at the store.
They are all within the 8 to 9 inch range,mainly from aspen wood,some maple,all wood I have found.
On average it takes me about 6 hours to complete one but I notice that the more I do the less time it takes.I have signed them but not dated them.(should they be dated?)There have been a couple I actually gave to relatives but have never sold any .I have posted the pics again.
The large one of driftwood is not a sale,just a piece I did for my daughter and the relief of the duck is not for sale either ,just wanted to show you a couple of others I had done.
Only selling the ood spirits at this tm.
Thanks a lot
