Domestic shipping is $22.50It was 6 years ago this month that Satoshi Nakomoto planted a seed, the first block of a technology that would grow to change the way that millions think about banking and commerce. "Culture Cultivation" is an artistic representation of how one mans seed, "bitcoin" as we know it, has grown over the past 6 years into something that has forever changed the world and will continue to grow like a well tended fertile garden.
"Culture Cultivation" 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 this piece 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.
The wood this piece is carved from is worth more than the 2
