Very nice

Thanks Liquid, i appreciate it



Quote from: segvec on November 23, 2014, 03:17:31 AM Cool.

What is the difference between this one and the $14k piece?...besides the choice of wood?



is wall art, intended to be displayed against a flat surface. Transcendence is a wood sculpture in that it sits flat on a base and can be viewed from 360 degrees.



The Hive portrays the Bitcoin community, Transcendence portrays Bitcoins infinite possibilities and movement through space and time.



If your inquiring as to the price difference and what makes them different in that aspect. The Hive was carved from one of the absolute rarest and most expensive woods on the planet, Just obtaining the wood for the hive and having it shipped in from Africa was over $11,000 by the time i paid the broker, the forestry permits, duties, customs fees, fee's, fee's and more fee's. Also Watermelon Ivory is as hard as steel and VERY hard to carve without breaking it working on such a rare and hard to carve wood commands a higher price for carving as if i were to have messed up it could have been an $11,000 mistake on my part, not to mention i don't know if i could have found another piece of it to complete the work.



Transcendence was made from beautiful Cocobolo wood, although very exotic and rare to find such a good specimen big enough to make the piece it is much more affordable and runs roughly $200 a board foot if you can find a tree with heartwood big enough to get 12"x12" out of.

I wish that I could see it in person; must look incredible.





If BTC price improves I'd be tempted to get some work commissioned. That is incredibly cool looking. Great job!I wish that I could see it in person; must look incredible.If BTC price improves I'd be tempted to get some work commissioned.

In order to cut back on time and cost i would like to do them all at once so i can turn out all the blanks on the lathe in one day so i do not have to keep going back and fourth. Doing it this way can knock about $100 off the cost of each bong so if you would like to order a Bitcoin art bong please contact me by Friday November 28th.

People like you are good for the bitcoin community and ecosystem.





Thanks TookDk. Bitcoin really has made obtaining rare and exotic wood so much easier and more cost effective. I just bought a load of some BEAUTIFUL purpleheart wood with bitcoin and in all my years this is the best i have over come across. I have been praying for someone to want a BTC carved out of purpleheart as i think it would be one of my most beautiful BTC logo carvings yet. Thanks TookDk.

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.



Just bought lighting for the display and will post pictures as soon as possible.
