pricing categories
Pieces are selected by me for a number of reasons. I personally choose every piece to sculpt and try to go to the driftwood dealers when they have the most varied selection of types and forms of driftwood. How much selection they have varies with the elements, tides, storms, etc. Below are the 3 different pricing categories for my pieces.
SELECT
This pricing category is usually the largest, most complex, with the most flow and movement. Also, with the rarest, best grained and most expensive wood with the most pleasing finish. Other pieces are placed in the Select category because of a special appeal or relationship I have with the piece.
PREMIUM
This category is very close to the highest grade and in many aspects can exceed some of the individual aspects, but may not rank quite as high in my overall judgement.
STANDARD
Pieces in this category could not have been judged to be in the two above for various reasons from size to number of pieces (e.g., maybe I made too many of a particular subject matter).
