Greg If you don’t mind telling me, what does something like this sell for?
How many hours do you have in a build like this?
I just love all your boxes you make!!
Keep up the good work! No that was wrong I meant to say GREAT WORK!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Guys…! It is just alot of fun making these.
WoodenFrog…Wow! Did you carve and paint that wooden frog in your pircure? It really is excellent. Definitely colorful… I sell my boxes starting at $495 and go up from there. It involves anywhere from 20-25 hours and sometimes more depending on the wood type, size and complexity.

Greg,

I personally really like this one! Eye movement through out the piece is great, nice feel in bothe color and form. How much time and effort in this one? Is it getting easier, smoother?

kudos!

Greg,

Looked at time and material from your quote, good thing you are doing this because you love to do it. Hopefully this box brings more than 500 dollars. :-) It should!

Doc…my asking price for this one is $750…that is what my last Rosewood Box sold for. The boxes I price at $495 are made from woods that do not cost $20 bd ft are much easier to carve than the Rosewood. Some of the very dense woods can take 10+ hours of sanding alone. I estimate i put about 30 hours total into this box from a rough board to the final waxing.

MAKES ME HAPPY, as your stuff isretty niffty! When I first was inspired by Krenov to “Make furnitue” I only had creative visions. Later got informed about the business of woodworking..SIGH! Using the information in all of my business procedures. And inching forward. Keep on your journey! LOL!

Greg. are you selling your boxes mostly in Houston? You must have found a great market for your beautiful boxes!

LittlePaw…Houston is just one city where I participate in shows. Houston is a great market, a fantastic city with alot to see and the shows are excellent but it is a new market for me. I also do shows in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida and am slowly expanding locations.
I am retired and this is a hobby that somehow is more and more turning into a fun adventure.

Beautiful work.

Thank you Greg for the info; I was just curious about the price and time it took to make them.
I wish I had some of your talent then I really could carve a woodenfrog!!

-- Robert B. Sabina, Ohio.....

Greg, this is another beauty. As you know, I am a sucker for the rosewoods and you really brought out the beauty on this one. I hope you do well at your show, but to be honest, I would be surprised if you are able to hold onto it until the show.
