Well done, hope you sell many more.

Do you mind if I ask how much you got, I'm sure we are all thinking that question  ;D

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

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.

Thank you to Steve, and not to take anything away from him for his providing his plans and giving us all the information he can, because that is what gets many of us newbies going, but you had to do the choice of pattern and do the cutting. Sounds to me like you have done well on both aspects. Congratulations.
