Seems there is a good amount of interest in these so I'll go ahead and put this out there.
I custom pick the wood (or Acrylic), design from scratch, draw, and then engrave and paint fill. I finish it up with a metal frame, hangers and wire. It takes me an average of 2-3 weeks from design to shipping.

The wood pcs start at 400 and the acrylic pcs start at 325 (I have white acrylic as well that we can paint fill the engraving black). This includes your choice for the metal frame, stain color if we go with wood, shipping in the US, and of course as many proofs as it takes to get the design right. The pcs are 24”X18” plus or minus an inch with the frame and how the woodworking turns out.

Suggestions and input are always welcome and helpful to me! We can do any kind of customization from wood type to different designs.

These really will make your garage/office/living room standout! Or use it to put on display at shows.

Shoot me a PM or email to get started!

Alright guys, just finished this one up. Little bit of a different layout, but I love how it turned out! What do you guys think?

DinoBob

Listen, they look absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic.

You will have to get your cost and retail down a little to do any serious volume. They are a great item and you could do well with them.

Thank you!

Most of my customers so far have actually stated that I am undercharging (after the fact of course). There is a ton of time in the design and drawing on these. The engraving, paint fill, framing, and materials are the easy parts! Now if I was only customizing text, and not actual artwork I could charge much less!

DinoBob

They are fabulous. Can you automate some of the process? These could become immensely popular with the right manufacturing.

Manufacture it in China and you would cut the cost drastically

Damn they look great. I'd buy the c7 z51 one but it is a lot for what in would basically use as a poster on the wall. Very cool though.

What would you guys pay for a paper print of the artwork, framed? I could automate the process if I didn't allow customization, but I really think the customization is what makes these special.

DinoBob

What if you did a basic template, CNCd the pattern, and finished custom information later?

On nice paper I would pay $75-100 for a framed print.

Yea I agree, Obviously the design is most important part. I don't care if it's a really cheap frame. We can always reframe in the future if you like. Price them right and I bet you will sell a lot.

Let me see if I have this straight. You engrave the engine and art by hand ?
If so, you are definitely not charging enough. WOW ! It's beautiful and you are one heck of an artist.
When you have the art done, if you can do it on a computer, you can have it engraved by machine, or CNC router, dropping your cost. But, only after the art is in a format the computer can use.

After my Z51 is supercharged next year I'd like a custom one.
