Gene,
I assume you didn't make the Marlin (Sailfish?) for yourself.
If not, can you describe a little about how the customer came to you with the request?

I sent out a marketing email using constant contact to past clients showing some of our 3d carvings. I got a call 10 mins later to do this door...and have since gotten 4 other similar door carving jobs from that 1 email. We are now sending out a monthly email showing our "carving sample of the month" I was very surprised how well the email worked...

Sweet!
Would you be willing to send me the e-mail?
I'm interested in techniques motivating the customer into action realizing a creation is "FOR THEM".

How did the "Fish" enter into the agreement.

Good to hear, Gene! I was visiting a former employer on Wednesday and they had just done a 20,000 email blast. Had one order the same day it hit the net! I am encouraged!!
