Woodworking Project
Apr 18, 2017, 5:55 AM

|
|
The paw is my latest woodworking project. I also made one that I sent to Coach Swinney. Goes with the Clemson University seal I made a few years ago. All natural wood (no paints or stains). Both about 18 inches in diameter.

These take quite a bit of time - 35 to 40 hours each - which generally prices me out of the market.
Aside I don't have a license from Clemson to use the paw (or the seal or even the word Clemson for that matter) so I'm unlikely to have them for sale. I could probably get one just not sure how that works. Right now there are 2 of each of them; I have 1 and Clemson has the other - Coach Swinney has the paw and the second university seal was in the President's house (not sure if it is still there or not though).

Licensing from Collegiate Licensing Co

cam be pretty expensive if you aren't selling a lot of volume or high, high dollar amounts.

That being said, you could sell a FORTUNE's worth of those if you could only churn them out faster. But the intricacy and craftsmanship is what really makes them special so here we sit with the exact same result you stated above...

License you could get? I think I heard that when the white oak pens were being sold.

I would pay some serious money. We're talking a case of Bud Light and a gift certificate to Goober's.
Or more.

Even if it was just tying my shoes. I can't imagine being THAT good at anything.
Incredible work. Just beautiful.

Thanks for the kind words all. Never been much of an artist but quite by accident found a hidden skill. Thanks again.
