You are dealing with a master artisan here...

I commissioned Transcendence from WoodCollector and the experience could not have been more compelling and rewarding.  What a great guy...we are fortunate to have him share his talents with the Bitcoin Ecosystem.

The artist has exceptional communication skills and readily listens to your ideas and vision.  He then has the ability to build on this foundation and take the piece to exceptional heights.  If you take a look at a few of his past works, the mastery of craft is obvious...but it's the ability to translate and convey the vision that was unexpected. 

I reiterate my previous comments: Sincerest thanks to WoodCollector for considering my crazy ideas, for being willing to take on this commissioning and for putting so much passion and energy into this unique BTC art piece.  This work will display proudly and prominently as a statement of Bitcoin's infinite movement and evolution, and will indeed stand as a symbol of transition from centralized exploitation to individual empowerment.

For anyone potentially interested in having an art piece created...I highly recommend WoodCollector without hesitation.  His talent speaks for itself, and I can assure you that you are dealing with someone at the top of their craft...I feel honored to have had the chance to work with him.

Here are a few images...if you'd like to see more detail, you can view the slideshow.

Wonderful color and texture, contrasted next to another Cocobolo art piece found in Costa Rica:


The hand-carved detail is astonishing:

Bloody hell that thing is perfection itself, wish I had the bankroll to decorate my home with such masterpieces.

Thanks guys, i appreciate the compliments. I should have one or two more pieces going up for sale out of my own personal collection before Christmas if you are looking to acquire a piece, but i also have a half dozen commissions that i am working on through mid January that if the client is willing to share i will post on the forums.

Thanks to ducatitalia i now have the ability to turn 24" round pieces on the lathe so i can make the larger water pipes, vases, and other large round things some of you have been asking for. I just got delivery confirmation for the lathe as arriving January 6th so if you want to get something commissioned on the large lathe message me soon as there will be a backlog of people waiting for their piece to get done on the new $8500 mega machine.

Waiting to see these "larger water pipes" you speak of.  

This gravity "water pipe" is coming off the lathe tonight and probably going to find a home with a previous client who has shown interest in it. Only 4.25" round at its widest point but 16" tall and has a custom blown glass bowl on its way from a glass blower in the UK to match it. The lower portion is turned from a gorgeous piece of GG Quilted Sapele with a slight curl in the grain and the upper portion is made out of Purpleheart

I'll have something a little larger getting shipped out to you probably a week after the new lathe arrives. My scrap pile has grown quite over filled with small leftover blocks of wood so i was thinking about making a large segmented gravity water pipe just to use them up and test out the new lathe without risking a $1000 piece of wood. It will be colorful thats for sure, the picasso of water pipes.

Thanks, its 19 coats of 5 different materials to protect against everything from UV to air born corrosives. When I finish a piece it is guaranteed to last at least 10,000 years even submerged in water. The only way one of my pieces can be ruined is fire for extended periods.

Just an update. There is only 1 coin left to be made for the 2015 wooden coin collection. #1-#4 are completed and already shipped out. #5-#8 are being made now. #10 is a surprise coin which i have designed myself to finish the collection. which means the only one left available is #9. If someone does not contact me within the next week for a custom design for it, i will be doing the design myself and placing it for sale in the goods threads.

All commissions are first come first serve so the first person to contact me for coin #9 gets it.
