Something to keep in mind with etsy. It's all about who you know and where you advertise. Price doesn't come into the equation as much as you might think. Also, say you put some stuff up on there and linked to it here, or let people know where to find it or whatever, people would be following your link to buy a board from you, not because they're necessarily looking for just any old cutting board, ya know? Some people are willing to spend the extra cash to know it comes from someone they know, and knows the work and love that went into it.
I would buy one for sure if you got an etsy account up and going. Or trade you some of my glasswork if you would be down for that.

I didn't consider that, about who you know or whatever.... Thanks for the tip, bud.

Well... I sold an unmade owl to a friend via Facebook... Quoted her 50-75 and she jumped at it... Told her it'd probably be solid walnut with oak eyes /walnut pupils
So... I guess I'm in business

Thanks... Pretty cool having someone willing to pay whatever.. She's a friend, so I didn't want to quote her unfairly.
And I'm pleased with the shroom progress so far. What's nice is that once I get the program written up then I can get the shaped ones out a lot quicker.. Having trouble with all the inlays at the moment, but I think I can make it work.
I have a 1 inch thick walnut blank waiting to be the mushroom. Do y'all think I should keep it like it is with the oak inlay, or should I perhaps make some combo of striped wood or something for the inlays?

I'd say you seem to have an eye for what looks good, so do what comes naturally. Even if it's not something you like particularly, there's a good chance someone else will love it.

Here's a new brick and mortar type one that I made an is currently for sale, and one that is still in progress that is going to a Shroomerite's boyfriend's mother. Over 335 pieces, currently an inch and a half thick, will be sanded down to probably 1 1/4.gonna add a handle, too. All proceeds to benefit my Burning Man fund

Hey.. Thanks, bud. Appreciate it! "business "is going very well. Technically sold my 1st board the other day to my aunt (the one next to the owl in that pic), sold the owl, but has another board to go along with it before I get the $... A shroomerites boyfriend contacted me for two, and made an extremely generous offer that I had to turn down because it was way too high.. So, I knocked 33 percent off the offer and have 2 coming to him... Then I have a Wisconsin shaped one to make for a friend and a few others to make through people contacting me on Facebook for one..
So, currently, business is booming
