KJohnson Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I originally made this for soaps, lotions and sprays..but then I decided that my candles looked great on it. So I build another display for the body products.I was going to paint it...but decided not to...I still have sanding to do on both. Anyone have any great ideas how I could put my business name on there and have it look great?ThanksKris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Lilac Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Those are FANTASTIC :highfive: , I would not paint it, it looks great the way it is but then again I like the looks of bare wood plus it gives it more of a country look. Great workmanship!!For your name, I would follow the curve of the top of your shelf, if that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavenScentU Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Hi, I really like those. As for putting your name on them, I don't think I would you already have all those containers with your name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luci Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Don't you dare cover up that beautiful wood! I love the natural look, and it goes nicely with your style of candles, etc.I don't know exactly where I would put a name, unless you painted or stenciled it across the top. That might take away from the look of your display, though. Besides, your labels have your name. Are you thinking about on the sides, maybe?

Crafty1_AJ Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Those displays look horrible. Really bad. You should send them to me; I will be happy to take them off your hands. J/K! I love them just the way they are. But you could make a little slot in back to affix a sign maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyfoxy46628 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Those look fabulous dahling! Don't cover up the wood-they look perfect just the way they are. You are pretty handy-why don't you come on over and I'll cook you supper while you make me a couple? LOL Great job!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerinarkansas Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Beautiful job and I love the natural look. I don't think I'd put a name on the displays since they are already on your candles. If you get tired of candles, you go build displays for other CT members. LOL Ginger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thank you thank you everyone! Im so excited about these displays. I do have an order to make 2 for a great CT member. I am by no means a wood worker..thats for sure. So these displays are NOT perfect and no 2 will be exactly alike. But I am considering making and selling these. Just incase you might be interested..they weigh 15.5 pounds..actual shipping weight would be a bit more with packaging etc. Thats just to give you an idea.Thanks so much for all the great comments.. I look at these and say...I couldnt have made those! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJohnson Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 just out of curiousity....what would you THINK a display like this would be worth? what would YOU be willing to pay for a piece like this?ThanksKris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rsvlbrat Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Those turned out very nice! I wouldn't even try to price it, what would you charge? Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJohnson Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 Thank you all so much! I have added these displays to my web site if anyone is interested..Have a Great day!Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Those are great!As far as a logo across the top, you could print out to scale what you want on paper in the color you want, then cut it out and tape it to the display and see how it would look. Then post it here and get responses. That way you have not ruined anything.Good luck, would love to see what it would look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunshineSundries Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 From one "woodworker" to another - those look great! I've made all my risers and displays myself (some have turned out great - others are sitting in my shop waiting to be "modified" or else recycled into another project! lol). I would seal the wood though. There is a product out there called Dutch sealer or something like that (I'd have to go out to my shop to get the exact name). But it seals and protects the wood without making it look sealed. We used it down in our family room (pine carsiding for the whole room - I will *never* do that again! lol) and it looks great! It also is nice for when my 3 year old decides to color on the walls! I can take a wet rag and wash it off! I'd just hate to see you go through all the trouble of building those beautiful displays and have the wood warp on ya or have them get spilled on and ruin the wood! If you are interested in the sealer's exact name, PM me and I'll run out to my garage and get the name for you. I got it at Menards in the paint department - goes on SUPER easy too!Great job, hun! Keep up the great work - on the candles and the wood working!Life & Light!TishPS - price them as you would any other product you make - materials + your time x 2 or 3... that's what I would do if someone wanted me to make risers or something for them. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsaycb Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Oh, now those are awesome!I'd take two...or ten. Wait, maybe 15 of them if I figure it out right. You could really use one for each fragrance if you do soap, candles, lotion, etc. Nice work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carriegsxr6 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 :highfive: :highfive: Great job. I wish I could do some woodwork like that. right now I am just using good old FedEx boxes wraped in kraft paper. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brat Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Those are fabulous! How about if you can "engrave" your name into them? Or whatever it's called when you do it to wood? Try on a scrap piece first, maybe? They look great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
