Silly me

I was thinking it was about time I put something on my Facebook page so people knew I was still alive. I went to the Steve Good page and immediately found a new pattern that I liked. the outside if the piece looked pretty slim and very breakable but I thought, 'Oh, well, nobody will probably purchase this one any how." So i posted it and put $18 on it. If I do end up selling one they just might look at my scrolling page and purchase something else too. Well as luck would have it, I received 2 orders almost as soon as I posted it. Our friend Ralph from Aloha,  Oregon text me and said something like OH Boy $1 an hour. I thought he is probably correct. It did take me 3 hours to cut one. I did use 3/8 inch BB ply and I was smart enough to state that  at this price I would not be putting a finish on it so the customer was open to do whatever they wished to. Anyway, here is the end results

Nicely done Dick.  I think it might need a backer to give it some strength.  Thanks for sharing this with us.

Funny I suggested the buyer might consider a backer board also. I added $7 for that addition though. I had not cut it and was not sure until I cut it tonight

A beautiful piece Dick, full of intricate cuts and I would agree with the backer suggestion. I think you under sold your work at $18 dollars, someone got a very, very nice bargain.

Kevin,

    I am not in this to 'make money'  that is why I do not do craft shows. I only sell my things so I can purchase what i need so I can continue to scroll for free. These 2 pieces with the backer board ended up costing me $15 to make and ship both of them so that gives me another $35 which will buy me several patterns or a gross of blades or more wood. I am happy about that, as i do not even need any of these at this time..
