Oh my god, that's so beautiful!
Thanks john, i appreciate the kind words. I have been Commissioned by a few members on the forum to create a few more custom works, None quite as expensive as this one but still out of super exotic and rare hardwood's so there will be a few beautiful Bitcoin pieces floating around over the next few months. Some of them inherently strange including a Bitcoin Bong and a Bitcoin Dildo, but all will be beautiful works of art.
Oh my god, that's so beautiful!
It should arrive soon...I will post some pictures for sure. I wanted to hang it by my signed BTC from Casascius, but it would make Mike's look silly.
I am very excited to get this piece. I have not decided on how to keep it though..in a fancy display case or just hang it on the wall? I guess I will decide once it arrives!
Congrats! Looks damn nice.
OP please post a pic where we can see the real size of this thing. Thank you.

Hang that shit on the wall
Very nice piece, I am sure it looks much better in person too.
I'd like to know where the Cuban cigar guy went. It's been a while since i had a good Cuban. I made a cigar tube and end punch for a client last year out of Amboyna Burl and when he came to pick it up he gave me a Cuban. Best 47 minutes of my year last year thats for sure, dying to get my hands on another.
I've bought some from https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/coldhardmetal-2834 in the past, but he doesn't seem to be very active anymore here. Couldn't hurt to pm him though.
Yeah There's this guy I chatted to a bit who buys gemstones in the Thailand market, so like you I'll probably come here first if I want anything particularly exotic so there's definitely a lot of potential here, oh and I spotted cuban cigars at one time though I don't know where that guy has gone.

Either way you should post some pics with it up and on display with better lighting. That thing is dope!

Might be worth asking around

It was awesome seeing you guys work out those deals woodcollector, well done, not sure how I feel as an artist myself about the Bitcoin currency symbol being art though ;S lol I think it's a waste of good wood to be honest but at least he paid you well for the it. Being able to easily transfer money and import stuff that otherwise would be pretty difficult to do in other currencies is precisely what cryptocurrency was made for.
It took a lot of thought process on how one could turn the Bitcoin symbol into art.
I agree that importing difficult stuff is exactly what Bitcoin is for. Over the past 2 weeks i have been able to import just shy of $17,000 worth of exotic woods from around the world. Now including what i think will be my favorite "flavor of the month" Pure African Blackwood and the seller was able to get me a good size chunk of it. It is for sure going on the lathe when it arrives next week. It is without a doubt 1000% easier to do with Bitcoin and buying direct from someone than it is to go through my normal brokers. I had no idea what to expect when i set out to buy exotic wood with bitcoin, and no idea i would get such a huge response. Not only that, so many orders for custom work for so many different things from this forum. I am fairly new to Bitcoin and had some reservations coming in, but i have to say I'm a Bitcoiner for life now. It felt good to tell my wood broker when he called me yesterday to see if i had my order for the week together yet, "I got it handled already, i had it shipped in directly from Africa, Brasil, Guam, Hawaii, Etc" and its all thanks to Bitcoin
