thats a real pretty gun. I think riffe sells their paduak 55" for around $400 with a warranty for what its worth.

Yea but this one is a mid-handle.
I think you could get around 350 for it without the shaft, rigging, and bands

Probably more than $350.
How much is all your time worth in the shop building the blank and fitting everything together to make it function?
You have at least $200-225 worth of Neptonic parts, and another $50-75 if you added a shaft.
If someone tells you they can get a get a factory gun cheaper than your custom, I'd tell 'em to go for it.
