To make it round I charge diameter times length (in your case thickness) rounding each dimension up to the higher whole inch. For you that would be 14 x 2 and 16 x 2. I then charge $2 for each feature. The profile shown has 5 features (right half of bead, left half of bead, bead landing, left cove, right cove). The features I usually charge for are on a diameter 3" or less. I might charge more than $2 for each feature on such a large diameter.</div><div><br></div><div>All that said $70 is the price I would be inclined to charge. I might increase that price to $90 by charging $4 per feature because of the diameter.</div><div><br></div><div>I will often give as much as a 50% discount to close friends. Family gets it for cost. Folks who think they are friends can get a 20% discount.</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck</div><div><br>On Sep 26, 2015, at 9:17 PM, via Woodworkers <<a href="mailto:woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org">woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>

<div>A guy I met on Craigslist.... Wait that doesn't sound right. A
guy who had a lathe for sale on Craigslist, that I wound up buying, wanted
a two part column base turned. He supplied the two octagon shaped 1 3/4" Cyprus
bases and the profiles for what he wanted. The small one finished out
at 13 /4" at the largest diameter and the large one
finished out at 15 1/2" at the largest diameter....</div>

<div>I'm not but so proficient at turning, so it took me longer than I thought
it should. </div>

last year?</div>
