This is very cool ! I always liked the idea of incorporating copper and wood but never on a trellis.

It looks great!

Beautiful designs. The copper is super. Very beautiful accents to the gardens. Think I’ll favor those. Thanks…....

All…thanks for the positive comments.

The flowers growing on the triangular trellis are called Mandevilla. It is by far my favorite flower. I drag the pots and trellises inside every winter to keep them going…this will be the 3rd season.

I am thinking of trying to sell some of the triangular pot trellises at a local farmers market. Anyone have an idea on how much $$ I could ask for them?

Well done… put the price at what the market will support… good question as to how to price something. Materials cost incl S&H. What, 20%-30% of materials cost for consumables… sandpaper, screws, finish. Hourly labor rate plus payroll benefits (taxes, paid vacation time, 401K, health ins, etc). Shipping to the farmer’s market, and the stall cost recovery…. the list goes on.

another approach… give one to the Farmer’s market and let them auction it off as a fund raiser. Then, take the value they receive as a charitable contribution tax deduction?

Or, keep things simple… hobby and one of a kind only! Thinking about your question gave me a headache, but now my wife wants one….

The value a charity receives cannot be deducted by the artist, as far as I know. Only the cost of materials. Not even your time. As far as I’ve been told. Maybe someone knows the rules better.
