JohnnieYen said: I would look more into etsy for pricing. But knowing they are handmade from nice woods, I'd price them between 25-35$.
you should get more if you do custom ones like the owl obviously
Cool... Thanks for all the kind words and help, bud. I really appreciate everything. What's fucked up is that the wood alone in each board is close to $10 worth if you were to buy it not in bulk. We get semi loads, so it's not that much for me, but you know what I'm saying...
I personally don't think id spend more than 25 on a cutting board.... But knowing how much the wood cost andhow long they each take to make I would say, for me, that I wouldn't sell them for less than $50. Not that I think they're worth 50,but the work involved and wood cost would equate to about $10 hour when it'sall said and done with if tthey sold for 30-40...
I suppose I could make some, list them high and see what happens  But yeah, you have to be a baller to shell out 35+ for a cutting board in my opinion...

i was going to say, its probably not worth the time. And i usually get cutting boards between 10 and 15 bucks.
You gotta have a site like carpenter ripoffartist and make fake comments showing how lifechanging these cutting boards are.

I tried selling those custom acrylic pieces but at the end of the day it just wasn't worth my time.
It was 15$ in materials, 2 hours design and program, and 3 hours on the mill for something people were only willing to pay 25-30$ for.
in the end I just do it for gifts or personal.

I am a tool and die maker. I make aluminum molds for plastic parts. Mostly small stuff (smaller than 20" diameter)but for all types of industries.
I also do Cad design in solidworks and cnc programming on mastercam.
I have a manual lathe, bridgeport manual mill, and EDM sinker machine. For the CNC I use a 3 axis with a decent table travel.

Similar cutting boards seem to be priced anywhere from 50 to 150, but honestly I like yours better than most of the ones I'm seeing on there. I know someone local who makes them for around $200 a piece and they're very close in design to yours. He has an etsy account and one lady buys almost all of his boards. He told me he's sold over a dozen to this one lady alone. People collect them or give them as gifts if they like them enough.
Great gift idea btw man, I'd be psyched to be gifted one of those by someone.

Here's another one still in its infancy... Once I unclamp it I'll add another two cherry boards on the side to encase the oak and walnut checkerboard pattern with it... I'm pretty excited to see this one when it's done

You make me miss Jr High and Woodshop Maybe someday I'll be able to put together my own little shop and get back to woodworking.
I like your work.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I know a place to get tghings you can only find there. Even if you look everywhere in the world you won't find it except here. Its a very special place but people rarely hear about it. Sometimes a friend might whisper a few words indicating its location but that is all.
You need something that you can see yourself in, you want something that you can say "this is for me". You want it to be apart o you, to look at it and know that you recognize so mucvh about it inside yourself.
I know a man who has a gift right now. He has it inside his bag & he won't hesitate to show it to you. He might wnat to show it to all of your friend as well. For he might have to run on thedesire to reveal it to you on spur of the moment as if unable to prevent the massive urge associated with bestowing it to you coming over him & making he nearly throw the gift upon you.
He says noone can see his gift. Only some people can even ge permission to look at it. For he will put it in the backscloset for people can't see it.
And they were planning on giving this gift to someone else other than who they sent it to first.
Apparently the gift was first in the hands of an entirely different person before. He did not mean for the person to receive somethign not for him.
The idea I have for a gift would be to give her a santa toy or perhaps a toy car collection. For three years ago I recall I presented my cousin with a toy and he was genuinely happy. I've never seen someone so happy from a present, he revealed such an immense joy from being given toys he never deserved that he burst into a flame of joy. he literally was the happiest person in the entire world I believe. Noone could say they even came close to how happy he was, and if you did you would be lying dead on. For he was so happy that he made every room he entered appear to shine luminously as if by magic.
