Okay, here's one I've had for a while from Sands. This is for one of my co-workers who has been asking me about purchasing one of my wraps. I still feel uncomfortable about setting a price, but I'm going to throw $40 out there and see if she grimaces. Does that sound reasonable? 22G R SS w/ 22G 1/2R - both DS  Oops - I just realized HOW up close and personal this image was. I'll reduce the grand scale of it later. |

That price sounds good. It's around what I've been asking and 3 of mine sold. It's a beautiful stone and you wrapped it so nice!! I love it! Tonja  |

You did a fantastic job on a great cab, so $40 is a very good price. You have to consider how much time is involved in cutting the stone and wrapping it, plus materials and wear and tear on the equipment-and your fingers!

you did a super job on that cabojohn! no way to set a fair price on these. sands spent days cutting on that noreena and it made a heck of a mess in the saw, then the cabbing time, wrapping time, cost of wire - the only way people can fully appreciate the time in this is to see some of the process. and i say "some" because they arent' going to hang around as long as the whole process takes unless they brought their overnight bag. it's a one-of-a-kind, original, handmade piece. your price is very fair so hold your head up proud when you tell her!

Well, she turned down $40. I was unsure on pricing, but I wasn't willing to go lower than that! I had a couple smaller pieces with me, and she chose a small one with only two wires - in fact, it was my least favorite wrap that she chose! Oh well. I guess she really didn't want it after all. |

Don't feel bad about her turning it down, it's her loss. Someone who can appreciate a quality piece will jump at that for that price.

Yea sands that wrap job is awful!!! just kidding. I can see why you got that much for it.
Joi and I charge $20 for our wraps but as the quality of the stone and wrap work goes up so will the price.
