    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!

              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

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