Second pice first one with DeWalt 788

[Smitty54]

So happy with my 788. Thanks for all of great advice I have received on SSV. I am selling it for $25. Is that to much?

If you are so happy with the 788, why are you selling it for only $25?  

OH, maybe yiu are talking about the plaque?   Cost for our work is very subjective, what the market will handle and what return you are expecting or need.. 

You need to ask yourself questions like: How much is the material investment?  How many hour to cut? What is my hourly rate?  Do I want to make a profit or just trying to get my cost back? Etc.!

With regard to the plaque, the scroll work is very nce but the project seems unfinished to me.   Backer? Hangers? Frame? Selling for outdoor use...weather proof finish?  Panel looks thin for outdoor usage. 

For example, a backer painted bright orange would look real good.  Maybe an Orange Frame also.

Very nicely cut. 

I do agree with Frank-- backer- background, frame, or edged to make it look framed without being so. 

A bright orange backer sticking past a bit on all edges will also make it POP out! 

An orange fringe painted on, something on that order.  I hope you stack cut, so you can experiment on one. 

I do want to see it; if you make any changes.  I do use a blend of ideas from everyone else-- them modified my way--I usually like what it turns out like then.

Yes one more color and it will shine like a baby,s behind!!!. I too am happy with my DeWalt. As I did a check on the blade angles and it needed attention so I fine tuned it and what a difference!!!

Thanks everyone. This is what it looks like now. Thinking about sending it to  grandkids in Iowa.
