very nice work ! Have you considered making a chair with this pattern on the seat and back rest .

-- I love this site !

I don’t have a clue how to price that, Dan. It’s pretty awesome!

Tough one to price Dan. Beautiful board…not sure I would want to take a knife to it and the story makes it all that much more difficult.

Man! – I know nothing about pricing this kind of thing, but I do know beauty and I know a great story when I hear one! The basket weave pattern is nothing short of incredible. Personally, I would donate the cutting board to the pastor of the church where I obtained the wood. Let them put it up for auction to raise money. And then make more to sell on E-Bay. The best marketing is word of mouth!

I don’t know re: pricing either… I’d ask Dan oh wait. you’re the one who is asking!! :)

the story that goes along with it .. I just don’t know how you put a price to that.

Man, I gotta fo find a tutorial. I don’t know how some of you guys do these amazing cutting boards. Beautiful, Dan!

I think, generally speaking, that on eBay, a item as delightful as this one, listed with a sharp, tightly cropped photograph or two, and a full, but not too long winded narrative will find its realistic price at the fall of the hammer – especially with its charitable connection. Your story as told above would fit the bill. And you’re probably at the peak of Christmas buying just now. I recently listed a book starting price $10 and it sold for $200. Ooops I’m rattling on – hope it helps.

Tell them that the one condition they must follow is that they have to use Mastercard…then list the price as: “PRICELESS.”

No help on the price. But a great job and priceless seems to be my vote.

Hi Dan;

Very impressive! Pricing work like this is impossible. Some people would look at this and think $20.00, while others would think a couple hundred would be more appropriate. (myself included)

In our throw away world most people have no concept of what goes into every piece.

Krenov, in his writing speaks of this with dismay, as it is very difficult to make a living doing custom woodworking, for individuals or small shops.

I just hope it fairs well, as the cause is great!

Very nice work.

Very impressive! I would give them money and keep it for myself!
