Ahh ok, well more just inquiring than anything else so I've no really though about a patern how much extra would something like that cost (to give me a rough idea)?
It depends on the size of the rest and the pattern. For a TKL fully carved, I would say $150-$175. If you wanted a smaller carving (like a corner motif), then I would say $125-ish.
I've updated the first post with a little extra info about the base costs for each size.
Okay, I want to order a wrist rest.
But, I want it to fit the HHKB Pro 2, which would mean only 11.5 " long.
As for color, I want a "classic" leather look. The dark brown of your Dolch Prototype shown above looks pretty good. And finally I was thinking of getting a small embossed unicorn in one of the corners, if possible. I would just use my avatar for the pattern of the unicorn. Nothing too big, just something subtle to set my wrist rest apart from others. You can use any other unicorn pattern if you want, I guess. Or just the head would be good enough, if that makes it easier to make it small.
Can you let me know if this is possible? Also let me know what "classic" leather options you have. I know "classic" leather is completely vague. But I mean like classic vintage saddle leather. As for stitching, I don't know if dark stitching or a contrasting light stitching would look better. I guess I would say just use what looks best, based upon what appeals to your expert eye.
Sure, it should be doable to take half an inch off. The Dolch picture is actually black (my poor point-and-shoot definitely needs an upgrade, my apologies). However, if you're looking for a really dark near-black brown, I'd recommend Chocolate (Oil).
Another vintage look would be light saddle tan (oil). Here's a sample with natural leather on the left:
I've also just got some Golden Brown in, which is a little more "brown" than the saddle tan but has a similar classic look. I haven't mixed it up yet, but if you're interested I can put together a swatch sample of each of these side-by-side to give you a better idea.
Most people find contrasting stitching looks better, so I would probably steer you in that direction. For the traditional look, I would go with black edges and either black or white thread.
