Dare to dive into the raging markets of BTCitcoin. Going from bull to bear then back to bull all in only 1 day. "Mazuma" (Hebrew slang for money) represents all that Bitcoin is in today's market climates, and is the first of only 10 physical BTCitcoins i will be making for the 2015 calender year.

At 8" round and 2" thick Mazuma weighs in at just over 12 pounds and is carved from the highest grade Purpleheart wood a person can ever get their hands on. This high grade Purpleheart only comes from the top 3 or 4 feet of trees that exceed 160 foot tall and contains the highest resin concentration of Purpleheart wood which leads it to turning the deepest "crown royal" purple color you will ever find.

When freshly cut the heartwood of Purpleheart is a  dull grayish/purplish brown. Upon exposure the wood becomes a deeper eggplant purple. With further age and exposure to UV light, the wood becomes a dark brown with a hint of purple. The high grade Purpleheart that Mazuma is made of has a super high resin content that leaves it more purple than others after aging. This piece was freshly cut and worked by hand so it still has 5-10 years to fully age to its darkest color but will start to show its deep royal purples within the next week or two.

Mazuma can be hung on a wall, framed in a shadowbox or displayed on a pedestal or desk. Once sold, the purchaser can tell me how they intend to display it and i will prepare it for display.

For an extra .25BTC i will carve your bitcoin address and/or QR code into the reverse side of the coin as well as carve out a recess if you would like to store the private key to that address.

The buyer will receive a CoA (certificate of authenticity) from me usually within 1-2 weeks of receiving the artwork. As many of you who have bought my art already know, i use Bitcoin technology and Vanity addresses on my CoA's and it can take up to 2 weeks to generate the desired result.

Each of the 10 coins i make for the 2015 year will have a different design, and if you would like to request something special for your own coin design or a special denomination you may feel free to contact me and i can make sure that 1 of the 9 remaining is designed with you in mind.

Please feel free to ask any questions below, and if your board and just browsing the web, take a minute to check out my other Bitcoin artworks.

BUMP !!!

Still looking for fruit woods this week. Need them to make some Bitcoin bongs with. Let me know if you can get some for me. Florida, California, Oregon, Hawaii. You guys have a lot of fruit trees growing in your regions.

A sneak peak at a work in progress for those of you whom keep messaging me about the "process".



A Bitcoin Waer pipe made from Brown Mallee Burl, African Padauk, and Purpleheart (yet to be added on at this point). Once it is turned it will be getting the art carved into it.

Dont forget to donate to the new lathe fund @ 1LatheNNRsWhSZBcFvXpkZd1P3Wz4yA3Vz so i can start making the larger size Water Pipes for those of you whom are inquiring about having one made. Otherwise i have to wait until the first of the year per my Wife's orders to purchase it.

Working on a few Bitcoin themed water pipess at the moment should have the first one posted by next Friday. Can only do the smaller ones that are ordered right now as i need a bigger lathe to do the large water pipes people are asking for. Need to sell a few more art pieces before i can order the new lathe, my wife grounded me from buying new toys as i bought $80,000 in tools this year already.. She said " If you sell enough pieces to those Bitcoin people to pay for it then fine, but otherwise you can wait until next year "

Also working on an 8" physical Bitcoin this week as well. It's a huge amount of carving though so it might take a while to get that one done but it will be beautiful.


Yes, i would and have before. I made one last year that took 9 months to finish and was made of Gabon Ebony, African Blackwood, Padauk, and Red Indian Mahogany. I also make very detailed Urns, some out of "spirit woods" or wood that is believed in some cultures to have mystic powers. Urns are some of the things i am commissioned to make the most by clients.

All shipments have arrived. Thanks guys!!!!

Looking for fruit woods this week. Mango wood, Apple wood, Apricot wood, Black palm and Banana Wood, Orange wood and any other fruiting tree you have access to.

Also looking for Blood wood & Black walnut as well this week.

Hi guys, It seems i have been able to find the answer to all my other problems through Bitcoin and its community so here goes another attempt.

I am looking to have a laser engraver engineered that does not suffer from the "straight line" problem.

The straight line problem can be better understood by watching this video

Buying and off the shelf laser engraver means i could only engrave things that are round which have a perfectly straight line to write on, So something like a vase which has curves cannot be engraved as the laser is out of focus on any part of the vase that is not on the focus line.

I would be willing to offer a negotiable fee or bounty to anyone who could solve this engineering problem. You would not need to build the actual machine. Just provide engineering documents and a parts list so i could build it DIY style.

Thanks

Edit: yep its a crime to have wanted a new toy. Good job Nubbins !!!! Heaven forbid i look to see if i can get something made because a client wants a bunch of pieces made and does not want to pay to have them all hand carved. Your going to burn for this smear campaign, just want you to know that !

 

Back in the shop and taking orders. I hope you all had a happy holiday.

Because i am incorporating the hex portion of the Genesis block into the art piece.

Will be away from the computer until Friday 11/28/14 for the thanksgiving holiday. Please be patient in waiting for a reply to your messages if you send one between now and then.

Hey thanks, i appreciate the compliments. I put a lot of passion into those Bitcoin pieces.

Oh wow, 4 hours and i couldn't find that, i was starting to think i broke google....

Thanks a bunch mate!!!

Hi guys,

I have recently started work on a new Bitcoin art piece and want to fully incorporate the birth of Bitcoin into it. I have done a lot of reading about the "genisis block" and google will give me a thousand links to what it is, but not a way to actually get the text. Would one of you mind helping me out in finding the actual text/code which is the Genisis block? Maybe copy and paste it here for me if its not too long?

Thanks a million !

The Purpleheart will be in by Friday. Still plenty of time to get something special for that special someone for the holiday season. Does not have to be bitcoin related if you don't want it to be. I can make anything you can dream up.

That was before I was requiring deposits. No splinters at all, I have made and sold over 100 of them over the years. Never has one had an issue.

SOLD !!!!!!!! Shipping tomorrow

Now only $500 left to go on the new lathe fund so i can start cranking out the bigger bongs and wooden art coins for those of you who want them !!!!

Tip's and donations appreciated: 1LatheNNRsWhSZBcFvXpkZd1P3Wz4yA3Vz

Thank you to whomever sent the $10.00 and the $0.03 tip to the new lathe fund. Much appreciated, i'll be cranking out large size bitcoin bongs and 12" wooden coins in no time  Only $750 left to go !!!!!

Thanks sion, It's very nice to hear. I'm appreciative that this community has a taste for fine art.

Just got shipping confirmation on a BEAUTIFUL Purpleheart specimen from Guyana. Its just screaming to be turned into BTC art pieces i can hear it talking to me all the way from Guyana. These pieces will be a beautiful Purple color with tight grain. I should have enough wood to make 2 separate pieces or a matching set.

Message me with your design ideas and i can make you your very own Luxury BTC art carving for between $650 and $900 depending on how much detail you want. The wood should be here by the weekend and i should be able to have you your piece by the second week of December. Just in time for that beautiful Christmas gift for the purest of Bitcoin enthusiasts.

Up for sale is this beautiful hand crafted Bitcoin Dildo hand carved out of 100% AAA grade Cocobolo wood. It was commissioned by a person on this forum but then they back out half way through completion. Original price was $600usd. This dildo is usable as it is sealed with a hypoallergenic water proof sealer, so now your wife can love BTCitcoin as much as you do. If you have ever been F#CKED using BTCitcoin for something this would be a great way to memorialize that as well.
