New Guy Posted August 5, 2015 Report Posted August 5, 2015 Very nice. How could you sell that. To nice to let go of. Quote
Scrappile Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Very beautiful. Price is difficult to determine. Lot depends on where you live and what the market would bare. Unfortunately, I have not figured it out in my area, any price that I think is fair that I have mentioned to people they look at me odd. So I do not sell. Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW Quote

Is there markey for a piece like this ? I gotten the pattern as a birthday giftDSC03284.JPG Personally ,"just the tail" i'd feel $250 is a good price .Now the rest of the bird is way more work than the tail, so probably in the thousands would be my call for this museum quality bird.The intarsia's I've done and kept track of my time ,it boiled down to $5.00 a piece for all the work involved ,which is a lot work for each piece.Anyone not familiar with doing intarsia should try a small one ,maybe 5 pieces and see just how long it takes to get it right terrylee 1 Quote
amazingkevin Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 There's been quite a few owls being done this week in the village ,probably a record amount i've noticed Quote
penquin Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Outstanding. That is one great looking work. Super job. Have no idea on price, go to some art and craft fairs around your area and see if anyone is selling something similar that might help. jim penquin Quote
rdatelle Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 Very well done. It's always hard to put a price on anything we do, that's why I don't reall y sell anything I make. Most of it I give to the family and friends. I just enjoy doing it. Quote
Bpardue Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 I recieved this pattern right as it came out. It is what i consider a normal size piece and would price it at about $3 per piece of wood in it. Small intarsia - I price at $25-$50 depending on the cmplexity of the piece Normal or Average size pieces - I price at $3 per piece of wood Large pieces depending on the compexity & size of the idividual pieces of wood - $4-$5 per piece Extra large pieces - are Time ($10 an hour) plus material. Commissioned pieces are at mimumin $5 per piece of wood. I pretty much only do intarsia. The commissioned piece I'm doing right now would fall into the extra large range but it is also a commissioned piece so I went with my commision pricing- 360 pieces - $1800- and the gentleman only asked how soon can he get it.

bobscroll Posted August 6, 2015 Report Posted August 6, 2015 You did really well on your project Terry, I can see all the work you've put into doing the Grey Owl! It looks beautiful, How can you put a price on that! Thank you for the photo! Bob Quote
kywoodmaster Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 If I only had that much patience!!!! Beautiful work. Quote
wombatie Posted August 7, 2015 Report Posted August 7, 2015 I would never like to price something like that, I would be too scared. It is certainly worth more that I would get for it around here I know that. You have put a lot of effort into it sit and enjoy it for a while, it looks magnificent. Marg Quote

jerry1939 Posted August 10, 2015 Report Posted August 10, 2015 I never sell anything. Keep a very few and give away almost everything to family, friends, Church Organizations, Retirement homes, Senior Clubs, etc. Just my way of trying to leave things that will be handed down for generations. jerry terrylee and Fish 2 Quote
