Default Prices for objects of wood

What kind of money will people pay you for your works?

In another thread about cutting boards it was said that the cool
cutting boards sold well. It made me wonder at what price?

What have you sold lately and how did you decide on the price?


I wonder how prices trend. Higher in big cities, etc., etc.
Lower in places where there is a higher concentration of woodworkers.




As Swingman has indicated, there is money to be had when you offer
something that is not main stream. I sell quite successfully at a fair
price, for me and my customer custom designed and built furniture.
In another post today I completed a cutting board. I built them to give
as gifts, I wold sell them for $200+ if selling them. I am long retired
and could maybe make a decent living at selling my work, if I wanted to
work that hard at it, but I don't want to. What I charge way more than
pays for the high dollar equipment I buy to produce it.
