Title: F.R.O.G. Cross
Post by: bluelucky on August 05, 2010, 02:32:42 pm

Here is another one of Sue Meys crosses I cut out today. It's 18" tall and I used 1/4" Walnut Ply for the backer.

F.R.O.G. is one of Sue Mey's acronym crosses.  She has several beautiful patterns available.  www.scrollsawartist.com I have 10 or 12 of her cross patterns and they sell very well.

I am doing my first show with my scroll saw items.  I am concerned about pricing.  I know somone gave a forumula but couldn't follow it.  Julief you said the crosses sell well,  If it isn't being a total dork, could you tell me how much each one sells for.  That way I can have a general idea oin other things.   Thanks :)

If you are refering to Sue Mey's crosses, It depends on the type of wood I use.  Her crosses are generally impressive.  I always have the Creations, Noah's Ark and Nativity Crosses available but sometimes have others of hes also.  I start at $50.00.  If I have used a nice piece of Walnut or Mesquite, i go up from there.  I have sold them for as much as $125.00.  It depends on the type of show.  A regular town festival is on the low end.  The higher shows (you can generally tell by your booth rental) go for more.  I go to one every year where the booth rental is $150.00 for one day.  The other venders at that show are pricey so why not me.  Have some inexpensive items ($3.00 to $5.00) available, but don't appologize for your prices - wood and time are expensive.  The more labor intensive a project is the more it costs.  Some of Sue's crosses are time intensive.  There is a galery in Georgetown, Texas that sells her crosses for over $300.00.  Hope this helps.  Good Luck at your show and let us know how it went.
