a Master Artisan makes 20 times that a year

At 5.7 BTC for 131 hours of work, aren't you making just under eleven bucks an hour? Huh

BTC was $400 when he paid. So more like $18.

Like i have said MANY times, i do not charge normal rates to the bitcoin community as i love bitcoin and i enjoy making bitcoin art, doing bitcoin pieces is not work for me, it is passion, and it is fun. My normal rate averages about $450 to $800 an hour depending on the difficulty of the wood i am working with.

Ask me to carve you a jewelry box for your wife to put her million dollar earrings and a necklace in with your family crest detailed on the lid, or a cigar box for your cubans and you are going to un-ass $30,000 and get about 10 - 20 hours worth of carving out of me, although the carving will be at the height of precision and the top of my craft.
