few speaks as if they were ripped off because of your claim that WC is a fraud and use laser engraver instead of hand carver, we still dont know if this is a fact or not until the promised video is being made

For all those waiting for a video, please state below the maximum amount of time you are willing to wait for the video.

Me: one month.

Please state your response in the linked thread so that we can keep things organized.

That was 12 hours ago. Do you actually, in your heart of hearts, believe that there will be a video?

Yes I do believe it.

I agree the finish on it wrecks the piece for me. I love the idea of the BTC , I had Andreas sign my copy of his book with one. I've bought one of start the art's pieces that beautifies the BTC..

That finish tho.. All I could think was.. well hopefully it isn't done curing or whatever you call it and it doesn't end up being so shiny. I do like the design.. but god damn.

It's pretty dope. I like the design and all but are you serious about the price ?
14 ducking thousand??

a few hundred bucks worth of wood, and about $70 worth of laser engraving, topped off with a cheap, shitty, plastic looking varnish that disguises the fact that it's probably not even pink ivory wood in the first place.

Quote from: Guido on January 23, 2015, 09:13:59 AM

why would you varnish it?

looks like any piece of wood that has been stained and varnished

it it were a rare piece of wood with natural colouring it would be best to leave 'au naturel'

+1.
This screamed out loud to me the first time I saw it and has done ever since.
It looks like some form of high gloss polyurethane varnish, totally inappropriate treatment for a rare piece of very hard wood (if that's what it is).

Quote from: SargeR33 on January 23, 2015, 08:48:45 AM

The touch of BTC in the cells is brilliant.

Yeah, a visual play on the BTC growing in the hive.
To have bees waxed the finished item would have been in keeping with this and allowed some patina to develop in the future, rather than gloss varnishing it to look like plastic.

Yes, I do know what I'm talking about. No, I am not someone else. Yes, I would like to see the carving video.

Why is everyone who does not agree with you a shill?

People keep saying I am a shill even though I posted shipping info from US to UK..how does that one work?

Yes, people keep saying you're a shill, even though you wrote down the names of several cities as well as a few times and dates in a post somewhere, way back when.

We're saying you're a shill because there's no other rational explanation for your continued support of an obvious, obvious scam.

I could post the link to the shipping companies but what the point

I could post the 2 transaction ids but again what's the point?

Precisely so -- what's the point?

Does the shipping company list the contents of the package being shipped?

Does the TXID indicate what goods are being purchased?

No? Then, as you say... what's the point?

Lol really dude, perhaps I could take a picture of it outside Big Ben but no then you would say its a photoshop, nothing will please you.. So what will you say when you see a video of woodcutter doing detailed carving?

Probably accuse him of faking the video no doubt...I have et to see any customers of his complaining about their finished product - correct me of I am wrong?

I can find no comparison online in google images or anything where this piece resembles watermelon ivory wood

I would actually pay to have a small sample drilled out of the back of this piece and sent to a lab for analysis.

Blazedout419 and I have a solid enough business relationship that I'm 100% willing to front the cost of determining whether he got ripped off. A two-minute google search shows up pieces of this very same wood for $900, not $11,000.

I would post the transaction IDs for my 2 purchases but what's the point you will somehow say they are fake.

Wonder what you will say when you see his videos?

I sincerely hope you're going to refund Blazedout419 for this mockery.

You shouldn't go with the accusation till it is proven right.

Even still, the wood itself cost 90%

The high cost associated with this piece is the wood, yes, I appreciate that, however it was sold in bad taste and under false pretense.

I don't see why he should refund blazed his money. Blazed seems to be happy with his purchase and the fact that his art was machine made verses hand made does not seem to have affected what he would have been willing to pay.

Contrary to popular beliefs it was not machine made.

This is a beautiful art piece but is it made from animal ivory? If so people need to realise that these animals are going extinct because of animal killings

Yes, it's made from the animal species called Tree
