Red Cedar table

Listing #387 Listed on: 07/27/2006 Name: Robb

Company Name: Fever River Log & LumberI was wondering what this table might be worth in other parts of the country. I live in the midwest.
The complete table is made of red cedar, with a fake half log edge.
The 4 benches are all 4 feet long, and I finished it with 3 coats of precat laquer.

Three things:

You should at least double your prices. Especially if your lumber is dry and stable.

Once you put a finish on exterior work, someone is doomed to finish for life. That may not be everyone's idea of fun. Offer these as finished or unfinished, and have aged samples of finished to show what they will look like in a few years.

Your benches are tippy - easy to see from the photo. With the added high weight of those backs, the lower legs need to kick way back to prevent one person tipping the whole row. Research chair liability lawsuits and you'll never build another chair.

How do you do the fake log fronts on the ends?

Definetly raise your price. Just go to Home Depot and see what they charge for some cookie cutter, made in China B.S. patio furniture. Your stuff is way better and one of a kind, don't be afraid to charge for it. If you want to make a living don't be embarassed to be paid like a professional. For some reason a lot of wood workers feel they are charging too much, myself included.
