I am the proud owner of these new tables and chairs. The quality of the build is spectacular!! Everyone that’s sits in these chairs remarks about how comfortable that they are! Thanks Dylan and Black Forest!!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

We're so happy you like them, thanks so much for ordering them David!

[@tethron.]

they look fantastic!

[@DominicNJ73]

Hi Mr Curtis...mind if I take up residence in your yacht? I can cook and I'm housebroken...LOL But seriously, you have a beautiful home and boat.

[@JohnClark-tt2bl]

I wish i had a shop like yours nearby. I'd probably spend a lot of time there.

[@cattac6]

Magnificent work as always. Talk about labor intensive! What a great result though. Beautiful timber. Hello to Charlie, havn't seen him much lately. Cheers Michael.

[@dougk5456]

Beautiful work!! Your team has no limits on what they can do. I agree on the $5000 price or even more.

[@jimrosson6702]

Wow absolutely gorgeous those chairs are beautiful love seeing videos like this hats off to your team in all the hand work that was done on them and the attention to the detail you’re team are true craftsmen. I would say that each chair would cost around $3500.00 US dollars with all the hands on work

[@kurtc6372]

I love the work you all do so much, I’d come out of retirement and work for free just to be part of the creative experience working with such beautiful wood and design’s. Hopefully your chairs cost enough to make the owner appreciate them enough to take good care of them.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha, well I don't think we would accept your labour without paying you 😆 If you're ever in Calgary an want a shop tour let us know! Thanks Kurt 😁

[@DrivingWithJake]

Nice as always!

[@WhoTakesAllMyAcNames]

8k per chair, cup techniques a classic amazing work

[@richardbenson4750]

I like seeing your supervisor (Charlie) in the videos

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

We'll get him in more!

[@corybeyrer1039]

Awesome build team! I'd have to say around the $5000 mark for chairs like this. As a furniture maker myself I know the level of detail and patience to go into pieces like this especially with the prototyping and the custom tolling you guys needed!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Cory, good guess!

[@alexandrerauen6860]

Black Forest: spits out a set of perfectly machined and joint-ready seats Also Black Forest: complains about having to sand it 😂

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

We never complained, we said that Garett absolutely loved doing this! 😄

[@waterchickenwoodworxbydanb42]

5400 each . Very nice guys! They look awesome

[@robwright4392]

I don't imagine I'd see much change out of $3250 per chair. But, just WOW! So many processes in there, tweaking, re tweaking, sanding, lots of sanding, finishing, re finishing. Black Forest is limited only by your imagination. If we the viewers are being honest, between your team there seems to be no limitations as far as creative imaginations. I eagerly await your confirmation of my prize. And thank you in advance 😊

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Agreed! I love whenever we build new and interesting things! Haha, you'll have t wait and see!

[@user-ul1gu5qe7w]

Awesome craftmanship, beautiful wood. The chairs came out great. I would guess 5250 US per chair.

[@roberta.brokaw3829]

Lucky customer - BFWC crew was able to take a clients vision and put them into reality. Nice work. I do like Brads curve marking tool - I think I have several in my shop. $1550 per chair - Charlie I think this is correct!

[@nancyreier1070]

As usual just beautiful chairs. A lot hard work so talented all of u guys. Keep up the videos so interesting to watch.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks nancy! We will, and we're so glad you enjoy our videos!

[@talltexan4710]

These pieces of art will out live most of us. Worth the money indeed

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

definitely agreed!

[@houghtonred]

Love along your makes. I'm thinking £3500, don't know what that is in Canadian.

[@josiecapps2555]

Always amazed‼️

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Josie!

[@rustysmommy50]

Just beautiful!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much!

[@bill48m]

great design and finish, nice haircut too. Lookin' good Charlie.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Bill, from me and Charlie!

[@johncotton866]

Great Vkdeo!!! Thanks for showing us Maloof inspired chairs. You make a difficult task look easy. At minimum, each chair should be $1,000.00 US. Wonderful job!!!

[@joyhernandez7717]

Me gustan muchos sus trabajos saludos desde Venezuela

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much!

[@joyhernandez7717]

Esperando el próximo video yo tengo mi taller también

[@handymadness]

Love the haircut dude!

[@kentboys5017]

That is a great video. All the projects like this unique one of a kind are very interesting to watch. You need to share more of these projects. Thank you for sharing. Take care. 👍🏻 $4000 per chair

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks so much! We're glad to hear you like to see different things

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Stunning work. I would estimate the cost of the chairs at $8,500 each. Love the tables too.

[@kennethcarruth7852]

Nice work Fellas! Based on the fact that the chairs were CNC done for the most part with simply Bandsawing and some hand sculpting , Having made a Maloof rocker , I would value each chair at about 2200.00 US. Based also on current price of Material in US at about 12 to 15 dollars per board foot ……For Chairs alone. The slab could cost much more than that based on overall grain appearance.

[@jumpingjacks5558]

Those chairs are beautiful. Your team and you put a lot of time into these chairs How many work hours do you think was spent on just one chair? To guess the price of these chairs, I would say around $ 4800. They are really stunning and they fit the environment so well. Congratulations!!

[@matthewstein1997]

420 osmo works great outside, but its for vertical surfaces only. on flat surfaces where there is sitting water it will grey the wood very quickly due to some reaction with the water. Hopefully these won't get rained on where they're going.

[@seantwomey396]

From your feedback I am guessing $5000 per chair but I would focus on the cost per set of chairs and table. At just under $50,000 for a beautiful artistic set, the price is way beyond my budget. I would hate to see these pieces rained on so I would keep them inside. The beautiful artistry, sensual curves and attention to detail make these unique. Turn your design into a rocking chair and you have more accessible luxury at below $8000 per chair.

[@michaelb542]

Nice work guys! They look amazing. And I reckon they are $3800 per chair.

[@ryanreacts6286]

$4725 a chair plus the table looking around $48000-$55000 for the lot great work you have done there and to your workers they take so much pride

[@909_WoodWorks]

I'm guessing $2000 each chair but still feel like I'm lowballing it. Beautiful work!

[@mariamacneill685]

Gorgeous chairs! Your employees work hard. They take care to do good work. Black Forest you do Beautiful work on all your pieces. My guess is $550 canadian each.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you so much Maria, we really appreciate you taking time out of your day to compliment our staff for their skills and abilities!

[@paulhale3472]

These are beautiful chairs. I would estimate that approximately 40 hours of labour and machine time per chair would have been required to complete each of them. Based on an hourly input cost rate of $75 this would equate to a labour and machinery cost of $3,000. Add to this the cost of timber for each of $1,000, this bring us to $4,000. Assuming a mark-up of 150% I would estimate that you charged $10,000 for each chair.

[@AZCobraman]

LOL!

[@mikepetitt9624]

Wow those beautiful absolutely amazing! I think I would say $3,000 US a chair would be my guess .

[@timothyshepodd7826]

Beautiful - and a bargain at $1900 each. Blessings!

[@nereaortegalopez8865]

Lovely work !! my guess is a bit higher that what I can see on other coments but based on the fact that you made quality prorotypes beforehand and the quality of the wood and the final product I would think that its 8900 dolars per chair

[@user-vn6hi2bi3g]

Elegant!!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thank you!

[@lunasulpix]

I'd guess each chair around the $6500 mark with how much work went into these xD Tho I personally have honestly no experience with it so just a wild guess

[@mikewhittington3451]

$3,800 per chair. They are gorgeous!!!

[@hamboza010]

Great job! my guess is 1750$ each

[@bobsherunkle4591]

Love the chairs, I reckon each one probably goes for $1500. (Probably higher, but others got those numbers first, and this is the minimum I'd expect!).

[@dtr2058]

$2750 per chair. They came out great!

[@DsrtLeeRacer]

I made a Sam Maloof style Rocking chair by hand and it was very labor intensive. Chairs are no different. $3500 each

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Yes, Sam Maloof style is very time consuming haha! Good guess!

[@buddhababeoz]

Love Maloof 's work.. Amazed to see your inspired deisngs...$4,500 pc?

[@ScottRedstone]

$3,550 USD. Beautiful work.

[@JVHorvath1]

my guess cause its canadian black walnut... and the time/labor is about approximately $1600 per chair so about $9600 for the 6, plus shipping and handling and white glove treatment and the planning stage that went into this project im going to ballpark at close to around $12,000 to $16,000 for the set of 6. nice set, but out of my weight class just for a set of chairs.

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

I appreciate the outlined reasons why you're guessing that price!

[@StevenLDavis-ul1sd]

$3,500 per chair , beautiful work

[@manrock1924]

Saw some of the guesses right at what I was thinking! I suppose $4250 us for each, anyways this really gets me to want to make a chair! It is neat how the whole thing has curves really, I just finished up making a large desk for myself, so much to learn!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Yes, there's always so much learning in woodworking even when you're very experienced! Thanks for taking the time to guess, we'll be announcing the winner in our next video!

[@kendugdale5884]

6250 shot in the dark….but where’s the resin?😂 Really enjoyed watching all the work that went into this…👏🏼👏🏼

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Haha, no resin for once! Thanks so much Ken, I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@chairmanmike5858]

Given the exotic wood, and first time for jigs etc, my guess is cad$9,200.

[@TheRivanKing91]

Amazing work! I'm guessing 3275$ USD per chair.

[@fadefrommemory]

Amazing what you can do with you deep pour epoxy. It almost looks like these chairs are only made of wood!

[@Bobdabuulder]

6500 per chair, can’t imagine how long this took, so much tedious work

[@bartloncke9359]

These are very complicated and labour intensive chairs, so I'd charge my clients around 1200 EURO per chair I think. 7200 EURO for six chairs.

[@largniew1]

Based on the yacht alone, I would guess the client paid $7500 for each chair (x 6 = $45,000), and tables around $5000 each for a total of $55,000 plus any taxes and/or shipping. Great job no matter what and a beautiful set. Bravo!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

I like the math around it haha, good guess!

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

And thanks so much!

[@michaeldowdle6123]

So, I would guess around $4,250 per chair. Awesome craftmenship as always. BTW, did you all get a new haircut LOL, cheers Michael🇨🇦

[@BlackForestWoodCo]

Thanks Michael! And yes, Dylan and Charlie both did haha!

[@stevensun74]

2790 per chair I guess. I hope I can have chairs like this. They are gorgeous.

[@user-jd5vo4wb7s]

Can I get a job with you guys I love the type of work that you guys do

[@slyfox7429]

Really nice work. The fact that the title says "rare wood" and expensive.... I would guess that each chair goes for around ten grand. and if there is a table that would be around 15 grand
