It is stunning – with a bit of an ecclesiastical vibe going on. Was that intentional?
No, not at all but it does yes. The curves coming together on the ends gives it a gothic arch feel.
Just my two cents, but for the skill and work involved, it’s a bargain at what you’ve charged.
I agree. It is under priced but I don’t think there is that many people about who will pay what it’s worth unfortunately.
I think a lot of commissions might not happen if I was realistic about the price. At least, not until I had a very solid reputation where I could command good prices.
It’s a difficult field to be in in terms of earning money I think.
Even fairly recently I had a previous client come to me to design a table, pretty specific needs. I spent a long time on it with sketches, 3d cad models and a 5th scale model to show them how it would work.
I didn’t actually think too much about cost to be honest as with them being previous clients I thought they’d have some idea what to expect.
I eventually gave them my conservative quote for it. Nope….too much.
Some other folks come to mind who wanted a really special covered memorial arbour bench. These people are a professional artist and successful jewellery maker so you’d think they’d 100% have an idea of the background work that has to go into commissions.
Designs submitted, ballpark costs submitted.
‘You charge how much a day?!’ Nope…
Yeah, tricky business. 😊
