kmmcrafts Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I sell all my portrait work un-framed... but I do state they are designed to be framed since I make them from 1/8 material some are quite fragile.. What the customer actually does I don't know.. I do put a backer on them.. not felt though since I don't care for felt.. I use foam sheets from the craft stores.. I used to sell them framed.. but I tend to sell them better unframed.. I don't like framed because everyone has a different frame taste for every project.. and what matches their decor style... sometimes I display them in a frame but I don't sell it framed..

WayneMahler Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 I don't sell mine with just a felt backer. I normally mount the felt on a backer board then attach the fret work to it. I frame most of my work and they seem to do well for me. As for pricing things, that has proven to be location dependent as some areas I go in varies in the amount of money available. lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Thanks Guys, I may give it a shot on my outdoor show in October, will put them in a container and sell them for $15, since my ones in the frame I sell for $25-$30. Cant really lose as they are taking up room. lawson56 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachnlearn Posted May 26, 2019 Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Try to display them. People don't want to dig through anything to see if there is something they want. Think of going to a grocery store and having assorted cans dumped in a cart and you get to dig through to find a can of soup. RJF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCROLLSAW703 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Howdy neighbor, I sell might near ever' thing I create frameless unless the customer says different. Most all my projects are 1/2" hardwoods. I round my edges on the face side with a 1/2" roundover bit & the router. That kinda gives the project a more finished look if ya don't create a frame fer it. Sometimes, on them rounded edges of the project, dependin on the breed of lumber, I'll take some gel stain & go around them outside edges just to shine up the project.
