I need some pricing guidance

[Rolf]

I have been asked to make a few words live , love, laugh
see attached sample , the one pictured is 9 x 15 

What would be a fair price for something like that

[dgman]

If I were using hardwoods, I would charge $20 - $30 each. I would not use plywood or pine unless they are to be painted, if so, $20.

[Denny Knappen]

Rolf, your major cost is the wood.  To cut and finish should be minimal.  I sometimes use the 5 times rule.  Say the board cost $5 sell for $25.

They will be painted

If painted, poplar would be a decent choice. I would figure around the $20 mark for each.

I would in my opinion charge $2 a letter, that is usually what I charge+ cost of wood.  edward

The craft stores charge $1.96 per letter and do not come linked together to spell a word. I charge $2.oo a letter and do in script and on a stand and will paint one color for $2.00 more

How long does it take you to make it?

[Tommy Johnson]

If they are going to be painted I would go with Baltic Plywood. Going by the size you mentioned I would say $25.00 for Live and Love.

$30.00 for Laugh. That also depends on the thickness of the wood also?

Thank you for all of the suggestions.
