    Maybe should have started a new thread but as a quick reply, I think one of the hardest things to do is price a burl clock. I believe that the general public does not have an idea of what a burl is and how rare these can sometimes be. Weather you get the burl for free pay huge amount makes no difference as the later is what should be considered.

    Clocks can be made from anything so make a couple of rustic looking clocks(try saying that three time fast) and see which ones sells.

    One thing to do is compare the current market on clocks(not the two dollar shops) the department stores and large supply chains that would give you a guide of what is out there.
