Hello, I made this plaque for my GF mother-in-law, her ex's mom. I have no idea what to charge and would like some opinions. It's made from 1/2" aspen with 1/4" MDF backer. I made a picture slot so she could put a picture in it. It took about 3 days, maybe 15 hours. It's finished in Danish oil only. Any opinions or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Don

That's a tough one. It really depends on your market and how much she's willing to pay. $65-85 maybe? Not much money for the time you put into it, but at least it'll cover materials with extra for additional supplies. I'd say something like "Normally, I get $____ for custom work like this." and see her reaction. If its shock, give here the "friends and family" discount (based on her reaction). If she's more than happy to fork over the cash, by all means take it.

 

Regardless, it turned out beautiful. You did an excellent job on it. :thumbs:
