Whole thing is tragic... he made some nice stuff.
He was indeed able to transfer stolen vector images to pieces of wood using a laser. On that, we can all agree.

Really .... no 
, he should prove his "honesty" why someone should pay him ? WoodCollector take a piece of wood ( bad wood) and make something....
, he should prove his "honesty" why someone should pay him ? WoodCollector take a piece of wood ( bad wood) and make something....You won't hear from him publicly again on this forum. He'll try to grab some cash via PM on his way out the door and he'll be gone. Probably come back in a few months, or a year or two, with a new name and scam everyone all over again.
I don't know , I hope he can make this video.... but I'm not sure he can do it.
A video of him trying to fake carving some of that obviously laser engraved insanely intricate and precise stuff with a giant honkin' wood turning tool would be priceless.

I agree. I think if someone paid a high dollar figure
and feels cheated, they should be made whole.... but beyond that,
there's no need to berate the issue.
Let's show a little forgiveness... we all make mistakes.
I'm not condoning the false advertising,
but the point has been made. I'm sure he feels bad enough...
(And still think he should admit the mistake and apologize)
But let the guy get on with his life.

All scammers must hang.
I think he did hang himself with all the lies.
I do agree with you that he probably won't be back.
Although its never too late to change direction,
there's a lot of egg on his face right now...would
have been better to just admit the laser engraving
from the first post here, but looks like he dug himself
a hole.

It's going to take a while to watch all those "make a laser etching look like hand-carved wood" videos on youtube

Wow I only just saw WoodCollector's work today and somehow found this thread that has totally blown up.
At least he delivers the goods and in my opinion they look amazing.
No doubt he is using a laser for some of the finish. That is obvious.
All his clients seem happy(?) and he just needs to start mentioning that he uses a laser engraver for some of the finishing work.
Case closed.
EDIT: I also think the title of this thread is misleading. He delivers the work and his clients seem happy. Calling him a scammer is going too far in my opinion.

Really - most of his customers including myself pay in advance, he offerred to send me a video of him etching my design without asking for any money - i didnt ask him to offer this to me, he just did
Could you share the TX id of your payment to WoodCollector? You won't hear from him publicly again on this forum. He'll try to grab some cash via PM on his way out the door and he'll be gone. Probably come back in a few months, or a year or two, with a new name and scam everyone all over again.
He's most probably still with us.I suspect a few sock puppets amongst his "customers", you probably know who...

Anyone know what was in those redacted posts? A bit weird he publicly posted it rather than PMd (though I'm sure he tried that as well but panicked).

I think he's done here now. There's no way he could re-brand himself. People would see through it straight away. The only way he could continue or restart would be to offer his products truthfully as laser-engraved but I doubt the community will let him do that easily without a bit of hassle.

IMPORTANT:
I have received PMs indicating that WoodCollector is contacting his customers privately, and attempting to extort more money out of them by claiming that he will provide them with video proof once they pay their outstanding balance.
I urge any customers who have not paid in full to not give this scammer any more of your money as he runs out the door.

Hmm ok this is starting to sound bad...
Yeah ... this gives to WoodCollector a bad image here in the forum. Now it is very difficult to "recover" his reputation.... however I would like to see that video (if it is possible).
Totally possible. Just ask him for a btc address and send him $1,800.

Does anyone have any idea how much the wood he used costs? I wonder if he has been lying or misrepresenting that as well.Would be interesting to see his mark ups.
If he is truthful about the cost of the wood, it would be the only thing he has been truthful about so far. It would surprise me very much.
Sounds like someone found out it was a fuckin' scam, and they got paid a thousand bucks to shut up.
TerraHasher, the paid shill!

I don't really think anyone spent 14k on a piece. I think that is a shill to drive business on these smaller items. If someone did spend 14k on a piece of laser etched wood.... well that money must have not meant much to them in the first place.
Actually I just found out someone did indeed spend $14k on a piece. Blazedout419 is no shill account, I've dealt with him several times. But the money he spent was before this fraud surfaced.

I am aware of what is being represented in that thread. I am saying I am skeptical of the whole thing. If that guy has 14k to blow on a small piece of wood then I guess maybe I am jealous, but it also pisses me off because of the obvious lack of value represented in this piece. What I mean is that for 14k you could get some really amazing things and even if that particular piece was not horribly misrepresented it still looks like a piece of shit at that price. Anyway. I hope nobody actually got screwed that bad.
If the person who received it is happy with it and doesn't feel ripped off after this revelation then good for him, but personally I'd be disappointed with the actual piece before this controversy even if I'd had spent a few hundred bucks on it (just going by the pictures of the shoddy inside carving). The coins still look really cool, though.

From another thread, bolded by me:

PLEASE DELETE YOUR POSTS FOR ME IMMEDIATELY AND SEND ME A PM. I will pay $1000 in BTC if you do it within the next 10 Minutes.
A pleasure doing business with you, but i probably would have done it for free if you just asked. Sorry if i spilled the beans. Please do keep me on the list of people to be notified when you release it as if the price is right i am very interested in it. I even have 3.16BTC saved up for it now 
.
I'd leave you a trust rating for actually holding true to your word and paying me, but i dont think trust rep from me would help you any after the trolls got ahold of me a few months ago and destroyed my trust rating. So i guess a simple thank you for being a man of your word will have to do.

Nothing to worry about Pistachio, has nothing to do with the coins you or anyone else purchased...... Yet
Somehow i think my PM's got hacked and someone found out about a secret a month or two before it is suppose to be known.
You are very much involved in the surprise, but not right now. Thats all i can really say. Sorry! You'll thank me later.
