The Smoothie Swag is the way that smoothie carries himself, outing scammers, and pointing out shady actions of bitcointalk forum users. This piece is in remembrance of Smoothie's ability to call out scammers, call a spade a spade, make fools look foolish, and likely scammers look retarded.

This "bitcoin art" is "ORIGINAL" and "HAND CARVED" by smoothie as seen in the youtube link I posted at the top of this post.

This piece had 0 touch ups, still has burn mark residue, and is not modified once the 20 minutes of "HAND CARVING" was completed.

As more importantly this piece symbolizes the importance of telling the truth and being upfront with people of the community on your intentions, claims, and agenda.

The GREEN "GO" button I would like to thank as without that being part of my hand I would not be able to "hand carve" the way I demonstrated.

This piece is not for sale, This thread is only to show that it was bought by Kialara and that he is the original owner.

This is easily worth 14k.

 ;) Hellot, thanks man!

Value is in the eye of the beholder.

Do you plan on carving out anymore? I'd offer about 4.23BTC for one.

Serious? I hadn't made any plans to laser anymore.

But maybe... :)

Thank you Smoothie, this piece of yours will be in good hands.

No problem. I hope you enjoy it.

Smoothie, my offer was contingent on this being a one-off, so please keep that in mind. Perhaps you could make another, similar one of one of his other designs?

Yes it would be different if I did make another.

That was the understanding of it for me as well.

Perfect.

pretty awesome machine you have there. :)

Truly a well made piece of work I can see all the effort that went into making this piece a master work  
Bitcointalks second master carver has been born
In other words just perfect XD

Yes lots of effort.  ::)

But thanks!

How did you become a master carver in such short time or is that photoshop

epilog mini "HAND CARVER" 30 watt. see the youtube link.

NICE..

I'll place reservation for wooden coin #1 lealana 2015.

Using what design/art?

how about using the L logo from lealana with the hawalian design as background?

That is possible.

Can you be more specific on what you want it to look like.

A "coin"?

I suppose I could laser cut a piece of wood and put that design on.

Hmm honestly I am shocked anyone wants me to make more wood designs.

I don't even know what to charge for something like this.  :)

yes sir, a round coin. Since price's low now i'll would like a denomination of 100ltc.

What will be the mintage btw?

I'm going to take a day or two to think about it. I will try to come up with the design you asked for with the pieces I have concerning artwork.

I planned on messaging him with the exact thing! I too want a 100LTC wooden coin. I'll take #2. Or #1 of a different design.

Just to be clear I am not sure how effective putting my holograms on a piece of wood would work. If in fact you want to store a private key in the coin.

I would be happy with a BIP38 private key engraved onto it

As a QR code or the actual characters?

I'm a bit iffy on the QR code as I am not sure how readable it would be when scanning it.

I just want to say this that I have very little wood working skills.

I had wood shop in grade school so I have some small amount of working knowledge as well as some machine shop experience so please understand my skills are limited in the "wood working" area.

But I will try to see what I can do with the requests that have been made here.

alright.. looking forward to all the surprises.. ;D

Is this your machine or did you pay someone to laser cut this for you? 

If it is your machine, please provide a copy of the receipt and a video showing your face doing the lasering, with a copy of your passport details or official ID - otherwise this is to be labelled a scam as there is no proof you are lasering these pieces of wood.

It's a joke dude... ::)

Lol.

@ Smoothie, I'll take one too :)
I want it to be double the size of your 25 LTC coin with a face value of 50 LTC.

amazing piece with super rare wood that must have cost you $10k+ alone

I think at one point in the video I seen smoothie with a lit cigarette in each hand. Pause it at 4:20 and you can make it out in the reflection.

Sorry to disappoint you I do not smoke. Never have never will.

Perhaps you can provide more butt hurt with your posts.  ::)

Yes it is so rare that exact piece is one of a kind lol  ;D

Design?

Its a simple question. Did you do this yourself on YOUR own machine or did you use someone else?

I don't see how this is relevant. Please be annoying somewhere else, thank you.

Of course its relevant as if he doesn't do it himself using his own machinery, then he has lied to the community. Its a simple question for a simple guy.

Lol try harder to make me out to be a liar.

Are you butt hurt?  ;D

http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire

Why are you ignoring the question? I am not making you out to be a liar, i just asked a question that for some reason you refuse to answer.

Did you do this yourself on YOUR own machine or did you use someone else?

ukcrypto you seem to be unable to grasp the concept of a joke/piss take and you are making a fool of yourself so run along back to a woodcollecter thread to purchase a really overpriced laser produced hand carved item.

Is there anyone here who doesn't believe that ukcrypto is WoodCollector at this point?

I'm actually seriously impressed at WC though. He was pretty intricate with his plan!

This piece obviously is getting under the skin of some (unnamed) user in this thread.  ::)

Its not to do with the piece, it doesn't bother me, I can get a joke - what bothers me is that won't answer yes or no to whether you own this laser OR whether you had someone do the piece for you?

Which is it - you claim to have a $15k laser so did you do this on your own as you claim or did someone else do it?

Hay Smoothie.  How much to burn this into a piece of white pine 8"x4"x1/2" 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q2b9uumsjq5xcx9/2014-12-08%2017.31.11.jpg?dl=0

I have it as a vector. or JPG

LOL actions speak louder. Nothing you post changes the image of butthurt you present when you do post.

 ;D

Email me at smoothie@lealana.com or PM me.

Not exactly sure what white pine looks like. I am no woodwood-working expert but I will try.  ;D

Actions speak louder than words - Nope not answering a question regarding something you claimed makes you seem like you are lying? Are you lying about owning the $15k laser and doing this piece on your own?

Negative feedback left until you prove otherwise.

Oh noes you left negative feedback on my profile.  ::)

Abuse of the trust system. Good job.

Negative feedback.. left on your profile for abusing the trust system to exploit answers out of me of which I do not owe you.  :D

When you remove your negative feedback I will remove mine off your profile. To me it doesn't matter either way. As you initiated this "trust system abuse".

As I said your actions are showing your butt hurt. Keep it up!  ;D

Aloha!  ;D ;D ;D

Abuse of trust system - have you seen some of the trust you have left for people. I am not butt hurt (which sounds like something a teenager would say) - feedback means nothing to me here, i am just here to browse, increase my bitcoin holdings and spend bitcoins.

At this point I am going to play around with my laser and on random pieces of wood based on requests I have had.

No promises on any products to be sold. But I will be in touch with those who have contacted me personally on the topic.

My "Smoothie Swag" piece was only to make a point and am not in any way shape or form a wood worker or master crafts man. But if it makes sense and there is enough demand for wood products I may make them and sell them.

But for the moment since this is not my field so I will just tinker a bit with it for now and perhaps post here with some pix when I have something worth looking at.  :D

someone asked for a 100 LTC design for a wooden bar or coin...

something I slapped together messing around...

I tried cutting out a circle/coin with the laser and I epically failed lol. Learned that wetting the wood does help from it leaving burn marks on the design, hence the up close image.  :P

I'll have to get thinner pieces of wood to be able to cut it with the laser much more easily.

Nice  8)

good job.. 8)

Funny, lol
 ;D

Did you watch the video?  ::)

Good Job??? This looks awful.

This piece has been sent to Kialara as of yesterday (Friday).

Kialara, let me know once you get it.

Aloha

Smoothie

Thanks Smoothie.

pretty good, with value of  100LTC. Wonder how well the hologram will go with it.

Using a hologram may not work well. Engraving an address of private key may be a better route.

Loving your work smoothie amazing what a laser cutter will do :P
