i let the owner set the price because she knows her costumer better than i.
the luan 10"x15" s are set at $40 and the birch plywood at $45.... it was a birch that sold

Post by: 3Dface on December 02, 2017, 09:02:12 pm: my wife found me a beatles pattern a month or so ago.
i have tried to track it down to give credit where it is due.

Luan with flat black painted melamine backer. (picture is with holographic background)

sold for $55 at a "peddlers mall"

i am amazed that something i made could sell for so much.

thanks for getting me hooked Steve.

Sounds to me like you have done well on both aspects. Congratulations.
