The funny thing is that WC has not in any way, shape, or form disproved the overwhelming evidence against his claims.

Some more damning evidence. Tough to justify and defend Woodcollector's legitimacy when you see stuff like this.
don't worry...Tecshare will find a way.
Here's a detail of that watermark:
As you can see, there's "d", "e", and part of a "p". I wonder what logo that is?
Oh, it's the Deposit Photos logo. Now where have I seen that logo before? Oh, right, all over this image:
Which WoodCollector is burning into a piece of wood here, as of yesterday: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10260178
So, he admitted to using one stolen image (the lion?) and was just caught using another (the hand), and we found sources for all the rest of the images on the same stock photo website, but he totally has licenses for everything, he swears! He can even provide the receipt from his email!

Amazing carving must have tiny chisels and delicate ladies fingers. Oh evidence for 20 btc now!
I'm waiting until it costs 40 BTC before I buy it.
This piece right here is obviously hand carved and the video he posted
proves he has the skills to do it. Anything else is just speculation
and accusations with no proof.

Speaking of Reddit, I reached out to the Reddit community of wood workers to get some feedback. So far everyone agrees that the pieces are laser etched, not hand carved. See for yourself.

I think this one is the most damning post
If anyone else here is aware of any other, larger community of wood workers, I would suggest doing something similar, but I really don't see the point. I think the matter is settled.

I scrolled down more on the posts and you can go ahead and tell that guy that his Harbor Freight lathe is not a $10,000 lathe. You may also want to mention that the Harbor Freight gouge he pictures is absolutely not going to carve the thumbnails in the video he linked to.

Does anyone know who the people he was buying wood from on here? He claimed to be able to get any wood in the world but seems a bit weird how he decided to join a bitcoin forum to buy more. I wonder if this was just a ploy to introduce his business?
Almost certainly. His reddit account, http://reddit.com/u/TheWoodCollector, ("Dont make me go homophobic on you")is full of similar boastful stories in /r/turning (but not /r/woodcarving) about the types of wood he can get, and the money he makes.
In order to sell people something "special", you have to first make them think it's special.
EDIT: I think Paul Revere chatted with him about selling wood before this all happened, but it didn't pan out? He probably was just giving the impression of buying good wood to add legitimacy. I doubt anyone here on the forums sold him a single piece.

I can't believe he hasn't locked all these threads.
He probably will but it would be pointless and people would just open up a new one. Good job anyway, glad you didn't cave to harassment.

No. The galleries and being a famous multi million dollar engraver were just part of his facade and scam. If this guy wanted to prove anything he could just show a short video of his galleries or one of him actually hand carving his intricate designs and everybody would be left eating their hat, but he hasn't so far.
Back on the stupid pills i see. Smoke and mirrors all the way.
can't let it go can you WC? Gotta have the last word?
I'm honored to know that you think i am WoodCollecter. If i had half the talent he had in his big toe i would probably be retired already.
I think he destroyed that long ago. The hostility from him only seems to give credence to his detractors claims. If he posted short videos starting with a blank canvas so to speak and went through the process he could come away proving everyone wrong but instead he seems to be clutching at straws and hoping to provide just enough to convince idiots that he's legitimate. Seriously, stop bickering and wasting your time with alts and post some actual evidence that people cannot refute. You should be able to easily do this but not doing so only reinforces their accusations.
I am still selling evidence of Woodcutter laser 15btc
So, you're likely WoodCollector himself trying to lock in a certain profit either way? 
Stupid people think everyone is as stupid as them.
Sort of like how a goat thinks everyone else is a goat the same age and gender as they are.

Incidentally, here's the image of the middle finger that WoodCollector first posted:
Please note how you can still see part of the watermark on the right thumb, just below the knuckle.
When you pay for vector clip art, it doesn't have watermarks.
Yes, that's right, that hand was
STOLEN
...But it's probably the only one he stole, right, TECSHARE?

Actually, I'd be interested in purchasing the piece too, but unfortunately no PMs yet: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/wtb-laser-engraved-blocks-of-wood-935720
Anyway, TECSHARE:
CLAIM:
"I am a master wood carver who uses the drum sander on a dremel to produce the most skilled carvings in the world, but I also sell Butterfly Labs dildos for a hundred bucks"
