Negotiation & Planning
Artisan's Proposals
Hello Günter,
I'm glad to be the one to make the tray. I'm kindly requesting for a vivid picture/image of the tray. Also I'd wish to know the inside dimensions for the partitions. I've recommended the inside dimensions via the sketch uploaded. The thickness of the wood will be 1,5cm.
It'll be also advisable to use a Cypress wood and a light mahogany stain. It'll also have a good look with a matt finish.
The cost indicated is for the recommended wood.
Thank you very much for the suggestion.
This is how it should be. (Automatic translation)
Thank you for your confirmation. I will begin the work as soon possible.

Artisan’s Progress Updates
Hello Günter,
Thank you for the clarification sent through the images. I've gotten the right measurements. I'm beginning the project right away. I'll keep you posted on every step I'll be making.
Hello Günter,
I'm at the verge of completion. I'm only remaining with the finishing inclusive of matt furnishing. I'm hoping that the stain furnished is of your taste and preference. But if you'd prefer it darker it's still doable.
Little is remaining to be done.
This looks very good.
When can I expect the delivery? (Automatic translation)
Thank you for your feedback. I'm actually doing some furnishing for the remaining finishing coats. I believe it's ready for delivery.
Thank you (Automatic translation)
