Purse for friends wife

Tooled purse

so a friend of mine commissioned a purse for his wife for an anniversary present never made one before but gave it a shot said she had been given on by her father when she was young, but had lost it somehow over the years. He passed away in 2016 and he thought this might be something she would like. He gave me one reference photo off google and said it kinda looked like this I think. And said she like sunflowers. Cool thing is I personally delivered it on there anniversary to there house and was invited in for the unveiling.  Makes you feel good to watch someone marvel at something made for them then cry. But let me tell you I was nervous as hell watching her open it not knowing if she would like it.  

The bag is 6oz on the outside and 3oz on the sides and strap. Saddle tan dye on the sides and tan kote and antique ont the tooled portions.  

Love to hear some feedback and also those of you that sell you work would love to know what y’all would charge for something like this.

That is a nice effort. Glad she liked it.

Looks really nice - one of a kind makes it special.  Don’t know how many hours you have in it, but I would expect to get somewhere between $100-150 if I was selling it.

Beautiful heirloom sentimental piece, Madmax...much to be proud of in that project...and also very hard to put a price on for those reasons. Gary's range is probably the minimum fair starting price (for a stranger). If I were doing it for a close friend or family and the project were near 'n dear to me, I've been known to give the stuff away...working on a couple similar such projects now...what goes around, comes around, I figure.
