Good work mate, there's definitely a market for nice wooden cases... As for pricing imo i don't think you could charge more than the cue craft ali cases so maybe around £50 would get people tempted...

Thats wat I was thinking about that but I can make it around the but of your cues cos when its hard wood the price will have to go up a tiny bjt so was thinking like 55 60ish

Personally I'd be willing to pay more as I'm certain they take many more hours to make then cue craft ones - that is assuming the quality is good.

Yeah i was actually going to put £50-£60, but at the end of the day you'll know what it costs you to make so just make sure you get a decent profit for the work you put in it!

Thanks alot the price will just depend on wat hard wood you wish to have as the ones im making in the new year are a cheap had wood just to show of my work and then I will get in some very nice wood light and dark

A would say £50 the idea is to keap them nice and cheep and sell more instead of selling a few for say £70

Maybe you need to totally finish one off, ie with interior sorted, keep a record of all costs and time involved see how it comes out at at minimum wage, then go from there, no point making them if you lose money, unless you treat it as just a hobby, and only re-cover your costs ?
Maybe stick a cue in for the pictures with some dimensions and weights so people can envisage what they would be getting

I have a cue craft case wich im going to try the sponge later when I pick it up and take some more pic but im hoping I have a very good idear wich will make the size sponge I need for cheap but wont find out till new years

[mel147]

These are the one's Crispian Jones uses on his cases, may find them cheaper if you shop around
