    Typically I get 50% down, but I'm flexible. Mainly I want to see a
    real commitment from the client and to cover my out of pocket if the
    deal goes south. I rarely have someone cancel a significant job
    after I am financially committed but if I do I charge retail value of
    materials/labor up to that point and the customer would get the
    piece as is at that point. Made to special order means just that, its
    not speculation work. 

    You could make the deposit non-refundable but you'd be wise to check
    your local consumer law regarding that. 

    It would be acceptable if you wanted to break it into 3 or more
    payments, 1/3 down, 1/3 halfway thru, 1/3 at pickup...along those
    lines. 

Good luck in the new shop!
