This is a commision that I just finished up making.
It is approx. 23” X 13” and is made of basswood. I was given a couple pictures of the house they wanted and I then had to draw the house on tracing paper. I then transfered the drawing onto the board with transfer paper. I choose the burn the house onto the board instead of carving it.
I then layed out the boarder and carved it.
I used Minwax stain for the finish.

How many hours did it take? It looks great. Would it be inappropriate to ask how much they paid for it?

I made this for a friend and I only charged him $125.00 and I had about 10 hr. in it. $250-$300 is the norm.
