5% inflation per year might be fair if you feel you got a fair price the first time. My wife thinks it would be worth the time to recalculate the price from scratch. How large is that? Is it mahogany?
Edited to add- LOOKS GREAT!

It's about 22" in dia. and is made of mahogany. It's actually made in 2 parts...the soldier is carved seperatley from the circle. The only really tricky thing is the lettering goes slightly up on the curve....I can still "mask/carve/gild" tho. Again, as I recall, it took about a week to make the last 2.

This school has about doubled their tuition in the last 7 years.....nearly$50,000 for ONE year of HS.....messes with my head!!!! And, THEY TURN STUDENTS AWAY!!! This is the second most heavily endowed prep school in the nation. They have been throwing up new buildings here like they were FREE (actually, they are....Millions are donated for this purpose.....want your name on a building???? A few mil will do it! )
Anyway....I was told that they will need more of these panels for the new buildings. These go on lecturns and they hate to move them around from building to building....go figure.
If you are interested, they have a web site that is just a little fancier than Rays .
Thanks for the input and chuckles!
Joe,

Ya got that right Ray....that site is a full time job for somebody.
What recession???
To top it off, when folks come to visit their kids, they hate staying in our old country inns and B&B's so they BUY A HOUSE! The cash registers around here really sing on parents weekends.
I could go on and on.....honestly, this area isn't "Real"! But we love it here.....actually we moved here on purpose lol.
You are right about house prices tho. We moved here in the last BIG recession (early 80's). Houses were cheap and taxes low. One of the few times in my life when a lot of pieces fell together.
If you and your lady want to visit, you have a place to stay.
OK, I've got a quote to type up.
Joe,
Makin Chip$ and havin Fun!

Joe, I know a good vinyl printer who says they can duplicate that design almost Exactly and can do the whole job for 50 bucks.
Here is the sample they can show you,...Looks 'almost exactly the same. On the wall know one will know the difference. .

Your price is a fare one Joe!
