Hey 'chiz.

I just found (and caught up to) your podcast about a month ago. Great podcast! Thanks for showing us what is involved in "real" fine woodworking.

Anyway... Did I hear correctly near the beginning of the Bombay series that it was going to be a 250K piece of furniture?

hey man thanks for checking in....let us knoe if there is something you would like to see more of.....and yes you herd right 250 was the asking price but it went up.....i know it sounds crazy but it will be 3000 hours by the time is all done ..plus the money it took to build it.....and i havent seen a patcheck since last december....so keep your fingers crossed......

I assume this piece is more intended for a museum or gallery of some sort?

Cool!

Hopefully you'll get a couple of buyers get into a bidding war :-)

How do you go about selling such a high end piece? Was it a commission, or are you selling it through an auction house???

to be honest..i dont know how this will all turn out.i got ths oppunity after winning the providence show and once i decided to build the bombe i knew i was going to be putting my future on the line...its funny some really great people got behind me at bobvila.com and they all seem to believe in me so i am just going for it..my brother always tells me to just build furniture and the rest will take care of its self.so sorry i dont have a cool formula to tell you ...but i dont know how or who will buy my interpretation of this masterpiece ...i am just trying to complete the journey i started a year ago....its been mostly difficult but at the end i know it will be worth the agony....i did this piece for me...i just hope someone out there will appreciate it
