Hi all.

I have hit a bit of a wall. For the life of me, I have no idea how to figure out "pricing" for items.

eg: I have just finished a 12 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch sycamore fruit bowl/platter and have been asked how much I would want for it.

I know that you have to account for the initial cost of the wood, the labour time and of course a profit, but I am still non-the-wiser.

If you were me, what would you price it for?

It took roughly 4 days or about 9-12 hours, the inital blank was about £11.

any help, advice more than welcome.

I was just looking around today trying to figure out a pricing system.  I think Leo's right based on what I was seeing.  I figured on $10 per inch up to 10 inches.  Most of the prices I saw for things over 10 inches ranged from around $11.50 to $13.50. 

I would adjust the price based on material cost and any special detailing or finishing.  You should also check your local market pricing.  No sense selling yourself short.
