    I made these for my albums. I’d rather be able to stand up and flip through them rather than having to bend over or sit down and slide them out. I think it cost about $40 each for wood and stain. Made three of them. Is $220 reasonable? Seems like a lot

      Is there pics? I don’t see anything. That’s what the customer asked for and he even ended up buying a second one to match. Is it a lot? No I don’t think so. If someone is willing to pay then that’s the price. I spent maybe 6 hours on it.

        $220 is a great deal for whoever bought it, that looks like it’d cost quite a bit more, and they got it their exact desired dimensions/design/materials. Considering a sheet of mahogany plywood costs $100 out the gate, I think you could easily raise your prices :)

      Eh, seems a bit low to me. Assuming you can get mahogany plywood for $60/sheet from a hardwood dealer, that works out to $26/hr with no overhead for any incidental expenses (sandpaper, finish, margin, etc). I would probably charge $350-500
