Popular Post scrollerpete Posted December 1, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 I got this commission order for this Kleenex box from a very good friend, after she saw a different pattern that I had cut before (tulips) it is from Sue Mey. She wanted roses pattern, well over 320 holes later, here is the finished project. I even double the sides so I cut 2 at once. Will not make money on this, cost of pattern, wood and other material over $25 spent at least 4 hours cutting and I might get $40 for the Kleenex box. We never get rich in this hobby, we make families and friends very happy. barb.j.enders, Woodrush, JimErn and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockytime Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 I can't imagine cutting that in four hours the assembling and finishing it. I am impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Joe Posted December 2, 2019 Report Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) I am not giving my stuff away (unless I am actually giving it away). I feel like I am putting out a clean, professional piece. I’m not in this to make a ton of dough, but I think good scrollers are underselling themselves. Your Kleenex box is intricate, well done, and the purchaser is buying directly from the craftsman/artist. If it wasn’t for a friend, I would inbed a Steve Good signature coin in the bottom, date it, supply a box of tissues and price it at least enough to cover a bar tab for two with nachos.
