Please by all means, feel free to make one yourself and make a video of you making it from start to finish then proceed to tell me how long it took, or actually you wont have to as we will have it on video and will be able to tell then that you have no idea about making things.
You must sand very slowly... I made something quite similar in shop class during middle school, so I have a good idea about what it takes to make this. I made a similar sized wood urn and the only thing it didn't have was the laser etching. It took me 2 classes(1 hour each) to glue the wood together, shape and sand it, the next 3 one hour classes that week were spent finishing it. That's 5 hours and I was a complete newbie and a teenager who fucked off in class.
Go troll someone else with your wooden bullets.
You kids are really good at photoshop because when i go to that site you linked it tells me that my photos dont have an ICC profile or that it cannot be found. I'd be happy for someone else to try but for now i think this is just kids trying to continue some drama over some guy they have an issue with.

WC or not, it doesn't matter. He said it takes 10-12 hours to make each one. There is about 1-3 hours of actual labor and many hours of drying time for glue, paint and finish. If the guy is going to count drying time in his labor costs, it doesn't matter if he is WC or not, he's a scammer.

Not sure what an ICC profile is but me using IMGur when someone else here does isnt really proof i am them. I kind of figured this would happen after the first few posts, you technology kids are kind of predeictable. I could be Ron Paul and it does not change what i made and that it is for sale.
You'd think people would be happy after scamming users for over $20k... Guess I was wrong.
woodcollector is that you 
kinda looks hand carved

Looks like I was correct, Busted lol
And Essimo's photos appear to share the same ICC profile as WoodCollector's. This is quite telling as well, no?

And I may be reaching here, but... (I enhanced the saturation to be certain this was a blue lighter, and not a black one)

No one suggested you being competition to him and frankly your response is quite telling.
Damn, its kind of the perfect time for even Woodcollector to create an alt account to sel his stuff.
I am sure, you will be facing a lot of speculation. Good luck .

If its not round, i really can't make it. So i dont think i am much competition to him.
If i cant sell them, i'll just put them in the over flowing box of dozens of things i tinkered around and made over the years and never did anything with. I dont really think this is the type of place i would fit in much anyways. It seems to be a younger crowd of guys with backgrounds in technology here and i am the furthest thing from any of that.
Time will tell i guess.

Essimo, can you share with us forum members a short paragraph about yourself and your career as a practitioner, or is it your wish to remain anonymous? Can you link a website or portfolio?
My career? I'm a county worker. I plow roads in winter and fix potholes in the summer. I am a tinkerer. A buddy of mine introduced me to this place a week ago to look at a neat wooden sculpture and said i should make something and try and sell it here. So this is me, doing that. Cant say i am thrilled with the results thus far. but it was worth a shot.
Website / Portfolio ? Dont have anything that fancy, i tinker with things. i have a few gizmos i bought off ebay like a chepo $140 lathe and a nifty $500 little laser printer and a over priced 3d printer.
Thats really all there is to tell, i'm not that interesting of a person. No wife, no kids, got a dog, and a shed with gizmos in it.

All 3 are still for sale fellas.
I'm not trying to insult you, but why are those worth $100+, I just don't see it.
They took between 10 & 12 hours to make each one. so its roughly $10 to $12 an hour for my time. barley over minimum wage in washington state. Time to laminate the boards together to make a piece big enough to make a bullet out of, time to make them round on a lathe, more time sanding, time spent cutting the flat parts to paint on on a band saw, Time spent putting clear coat on each of them, then time spent on the laser and painting them.
I'm not insulted, it was a perfectly valid question.
Why not use 4x4s and cut out the gluing time and have a more contiguous look?
finding a 4x4 piece of curly maple or birds eye maple is a near impossible thing. i am not saying it does not exists but normally when you buy them they are 2x4's or 1x4's cut from the mill

Looks like some nice work you did there man, pretty cool. I would suggest listing the sizes of the pieces and/or taking a picture with something next to it for size comparison (like a BIC lighter or government fiat bill).
A piece of paper with your username and the date written on it in pictures always helps too and being willing to accept escrow (if requested) goes a long way, especially for a new user. Good Luck!

Thanks for the tips.
Heres the new picture with a bic lighter.

I am willing to accept escrow too.
You chose a very interesting time to create an account and sell some wood based BTC collectible items.
That's all I have to say about that.
