Hey all,
Here are some items that I am donating to our church's pre-school fund raiser. Each year they have a carnival and silent auction. A few years ago I donated a pepper mill and 2 weed pots. Last year I donated an end-grain cutting board. These are the items I'm donating this year:
Pot Pourri bowl/dish:
Padauk with WOP, 4.25" x 2.25"
I was hoping to do some texturing on the side but it did not turn out the way I had hoped. In order to save the piece (and not start over) I did the grooves and burned in the lines with some wire.

Pen and letter opener set:
Olivewood with Enduro finish
These came from the same piece of Olive wood.

Wine Stopper:
Maple burl with Enduro finish
This started off as a small block of wood I picked up at Rockler a few months ago.

Since they always ask me what the retail price is on my items what should I say? I've never sold anything so I'd like to have an idea of what they should sell for in a shop (everything I've made has either been donated, given as gifts or used in my house).
