I would appreciate some help with pricing large bowl blanks.
I have been asked for blanks measuring about 16 to 18 inches in diameter and about six inches in thickness. Most will be cored by the persons requesting them. One request is for ash, and another is for maple (hard, soft, spalted). A third request has been made for black walnut. In all cases, the wood is wet. The blanks are straight-grained, but one person is interested in large crotches as well. The wood comes from trees which I felled then milled on my sawmill.
What would be your suggestion as to a fair price? Should I charge based on the number of board feet in each blank, the diameter, or a different parameter? I thank you for your consideration.
