Bowls II

Nice bowls! They really are artistic! What are you planning to do with these bowls?

-- "someone has to be wounded for others to be saved, someone has to sacrifice for others to feel happiness, someone has to die so others could live"

I have been keeping or giving away as gifts, but should get ino selling as I am starting to get many of them. Not really sure what to charge.

Those are really neat! I like them!
So is each ring separate then you glue them together?

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

Yes, cut them out, rotated each ring, and used crazy glue, the gell works better.

I can’t really say which one is my favorite but the one with what appears to be a celtic knot design really draws me in.

Don’t know if you can make a profit off of this but $70 – $120 each?

I like your thinking, but given the marketplace and similar items on Etsy, I think $20-30 would be a top price given the current designs and type of wood. I made the celtic bowl for my inlaws, they are big on Irish designs; I found a nice knot design and scrolled it into the bottom.

I suppose it depends on where your sell them. I only kick up the price a bit because they are unique pieces of art. It’s a funny thing – You may not sell a single one for $10 but you can sell the fire out of them at $90. You’re not asking them to accept that you are an artist – they just believe it and pay more. That’s another loooong discussion and it’s full of my opinions about life. ;)

I’m with Mark on this one. Unless you can make 2-3 bowls an hour and have no problems at all selling, you’re probably not going to cover materials, time, tools, expendables, etc and make any profit at $20-$30.

So true, but then again, this is more a love/hobby; i enjoy doing it and people seem to like it.

This is too beautiful to put something on it.

Very nice and practical bowl.I see hot fresh slised brad in it.

Great work!

-- Dreaming patterns

I love the design. Where did you get the pattern for it?

Thats some really nice bowls you made there would make lovely fruit bowl :-)

-- If i could live in a tree and get away with it i would :-)

I am not sure if I got these patterns from Scrollsaw magazine or a book of scrollsaw designs. Either eay, easy to find them and modify for your own needs. I will say adding the designs on the bottoms was my idea; it is fun to try new things.
