Hi Steve. You have a great product. The mention of color had to do with the merchandising and not necessarily the need to color your products. Have you considered testing the use of some figured wood like curly maple?

One of my customers who makes cutting boards told me that he was selling his products at craft fairs and did OK but when he added one strip of curly maple or birdseye maple in the cutting board he sold more and the ones with the figured woods sold first every time. His cutting boards were simple designs with walnut, cherry and maple strips.

Make a few tigers out of curly maple. A couple of bears out of walnut and a fox or two out of cherry. Who knows?

What’s the retail price point of your products?
