Well...got good news and bad news...
Lets get the bad news outta the way first: my prices have gone up. I am currently starting at $200 for a plaque with one hunter and an animal and with the background carved (no background detail burned). Even at this price I only make 4 to 5 dollars per hour, so I still have a ways to go to get my prices where they need to be, but I am still having fun and figure I will just raise them gradually.
Good news is I am gonna give my traditional hunting buddies a chance to get a plaque done at the old prices. Basically, if you have been thinking about having me do a plaque for you, then email me before the end of April, mention this post, and I will start at $150 instead of the $200.
I am not doing this because I need the work! I have 14 on my waiting list. And just had a booth at the Iowa Deer Classic where I have already had 4 people contact me about 6 plaques they want done. I am doing this to say "Thank You"!
If it wasn't for the interest and orders from my fellow traditional archers, I never would have found that the Good Lord had blessed with this talent.
Also, If you were thinking of getting one done for a Christmas gift, the sooner you get me a deposit the better. The way my waiting list keeps growing you may need to get on my list in the next month or two in order to get one by December!
I will be donating a custom plaque to the St Judes Auction and will put that one on my list soon, so that it gets done in this calendar year!
Once again, Thank You!
Oh! and here is one I had not posted because it was a gift that needed to be delivered before I could post it.
