Pricing for the ultimate chess board

Hi All,

I've been playing chess for about 26 years now, and have found that finding a nice solid wooden chess board that is tournament sized and not cheaply made is surprisingly difficult.

So I made some myself. The plan was to make two for myself (one for home and one to keep at the office) and one for my son, however, economies of scale being what they are, I ended up making nine of them.  I'm almost finished, and I now have to think of what to do with the surplus six.  I'd like to sell them, but I am not sure what sort of pricing to put on my creations.  If people could give me some indication of what they think I could get, it would be appreciated. 

Here are the specs and design notes:

Black squares: Recycled Merbau decking timbers 52mmx53mmx19mm,

White squares: Black wattle 52mmx53mmx19mm, this tree spent its life isolated on a mountainside in Tasmania, which caused its timbers to have an unbelievable amount of figure.  It is so pretty that I had a crazy luthier abuse and threaten me, after I told him that I wouldn't sell it to him for guitarmaking.

Each chess board is framed with either stringybark, or merbau, and has some unique resin art on the reverse side.

The boards are deliberately designed to be about 2% longer from the 1st to 8th ranks than from the a to h files, so that the "squares" (rectangles really) actually appear squarer than real squares - the same trick is used with the inlaid writing on the Taj Mahal and on the grille of Rolls Royce cars.

Unlike most premium wooden chess boards that use incredibly thin layers of expensive timbers, these boards have 19mm of depth to the squares followed by a further 8-9mm of solid epoxy resin, so in theory, you could play on one of these boards every day for many many lifetimes and the board would still be just a sand and a varnish away from looking brand new again.

The catch with these boards is that between the cost of the materials (which was very steep), and the enormous amount of time that it took to make them, I can't see myself parting with them for anything less than a very high price.

The other catch is that although the boards are well made, they were made in a home workshop by someone who is not a master woodworker, accordingly, the quality of the joinery is not quite at the same level as the quality of the materials. It is very good, but not perfect.

How much should I price these at and where do you think I'd get a good price?

Show me a picture and I think I can think of a good price

Or maybe tell me the price

or both
