Finally, a more detailed word about shipping. Shipping these pieces is expensive, both for the transit and for the time and materials that goes into the packaging. I sometimes charge a flat fee of $100 CONUS, but please know that the actual shipping costs are usually more than 2x that rate. I find, however, that my absorbing any extra shipping cost is sufficiently balanced by placing the art with happy buyers. In this case, however, I am offering Free Shipping for US CONUS
