I want some thoughts on something. I want you to imagine you were in the market for this item and try to think about how much you would be willing to pay. I don't have these in quantity. I only have this one that I made for myself at the moment. None the less I am just looking to guage interest from people who may be into this genre/style. Especially parrotheads like myself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This can be made in 2 sizes. Right now all I have made is this 58" 5 bulb version. I can make 39" 3 light version for smaller areas that just need accent lighting. I am not going to answer questions on costs of materials at this time. The only thing I will say is that the longboards are pricey and cost 3X as much as the 39" ones. Designs are random, but always involve palms, sunsets, beach and dolphins obviously.

The board itself is madeof wood that is an inch thick. it is airbrushed and laquered. The light kit I add is 5 and 3 light halogen kits. They use 10 watt G4 base halogen bulbs in each can. I can supply them with 2 ways of poering them. 1 is a light plate to tap into a light box in the ceiling. 2nd way is to send it with a switch and plug kit to plug into a wall.

Without further delay, this is what I want any and all feedback on. It's a bar/area/billiard hanging surfboard light.

Thanks for your time.

 
My brother owns Overhead Surf Shop on Johns pass on Maderia Beach and might offer a place to sell them. And I do believe he's lookin for a light to go over his new pooltable //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I was thinking maybe some Ebay sales right now. I'll have to get down there to check out your brothers shop. I love tropical/surk/tiki and the likes. I need a feeler though, because in order to even embark on any project for profit like this it would need to be worth it for me to put down the moeny to buy these boards in a wholesale lot. At retail pricing there is no way I would make any money and the wholesaler has a minimum of a $1000 order for wholesale to retail buyers.

 
very creative. goes well with that room. good lucc. jw how much did the board itself cost you? maybe that plus 40-50 dollars for labor fees?
A 58" is good chunk of money retail, but if I was to try and make any profit, I'd buy them in a wholesale lot from the supplier.

I will answer your question more specifically after the thread runs a bit.
