Anyone know what was in those redacted posts? A bit weird he publicly posted it rather than PMd (though I'm sure he tried that as well but panicked).

Really .... no

, he should prove his "honesty" why someone should pay him ? WoodCollector take a piece of wood ( bad wood) and make something....

You won't hear from him publicly again on this forum. He'll try to grab some cash via PM on his way out the door and he'll be gone. Probably come back in a few months, or a year or two, with a new name and scam everyone all over again.

I think he's done here now. There's no way he could re-brand himself. People would see through it straight away. The only way he could continue or restart would be to offer his products truthfully as laser-engraved but I doubt the community will let him do that easily without a bit of hassle.

Let me be clear, I am not a sock puppet account. I genuinely am a customer of WC. I bid of Mazuma and lost due to some issues surrounding the ending time. WC PM'd both Ironman and myself apologised for the lack of understanding with the auction end time and offered to make me any piece using a selection of woods and any size coin i wanted and he would give me a 2.5BTC valued coin for 1.5BTC (which is less the price of the winning bid).

I chose to have a coin designed based on the ideas of Anthonopoulos, re: ant colonies and he delivered a sketch to me and asked my thoughts on his design. I liked it and as such paid for the coin to be completed. He finished the design about 3 weeks late and even added some gold inlay on the rear of the coin as a surprise and at no extra cost, i was not expecting this.

I liked the finished design and he sent it to me and I received it around a few weeks later.

I decided to place another order and have been updated along the way and consulted by WC at various stages. He asked my thoughts on different detail and he sends me photos at different stages. As a seller of beautiful artwork I have been nothing but impressed. The finished Unity piece is immaculate and the finish on the word just perfect. I am a very happy customer and love the work he has made me.

I don't care if the graphics are from shutter stock, I paid for a unique wooden coin that i could hang on the wall, and a piece that no one else in the world will own, a piece designed and chosen by me to remind me of a new found passion of mine, Bitcoin Its the reason I have lurked these forums for the last 15 months. In my time here and on reddit i have seen scam companies come and go, companies and people that do not start off as scams but often turn into them come and go and it will be the downfall of Bitcoin.

This thread has wound me up, let me ask you - what customers of WC have complained about their purchases? What customers have said they have been scammed or feel scammed considering the majority are aware of these wild and unproved accustations and threads- with a screaming title of SCAMMER...You have dealt with this in the wrong way No customer has complained about their purchase - please correct me if i am wrong here.

I have seen photos of my second order and again its just what i wanted and again its a unique coin that i own that will be passed to a family member as a gift, to introduce him into Bitcoin as he is a lover of art, and that is exactly what i have - 2 pieces of bitcoin art that were in my mind bloody good value.

People saying he paid $1000 to Terrahasher as Terrahasher found WC a scam - not true, TH posted some 'surprise news' that woodcutter did want coming out yet as coin number 10 is a coin with a 500BTC price tag. WC for some reason wants to keep the surprise under wraps until he sells number 9. I believe him and the posts clearly reflect that.

Honestly, I am pretty sure you guys are in for a surprise but whatever the outcome is of this thread is I will be a buyer of his well priced pieces of Bitcoin related art.

And again to clarify, I am not a sock- in all honesty i couldn't give a shit if they were hand carved or printed using a 3d printer - i wanted and received some beautiful Bitcoin wooden art. Whatever the case, lessons will be learnt on both sides here.

This is what I don't understand. As far as I can tell none of his clients feel like they have been ripped off. If someone wants a partial refund of course they should be able to get it. Surely there are actual scams where people do not ship any goods / run off with hundreds or thousands of BTC that deserve more attention than this?

The people calling scam have never even received any of his work.

Still I can't participate in this thread anymore as the witch hunt is on and it never ends well.

Good luck everyone.
