Wow in the last 2 days this many negative feedback should say something as not all of us are "competitors" of his and are neutral parties with no skin in the game:

Confirmed scammer and art thief. Misrepresents machine-cut work as being hand-carved so he can charge exorbitant prices. Steals art from real artists and uses it without attribution.

Sells cheap laser engraved pieces of wood as though they are hand carved. Apparently uploading "proof" in a video on youtube but the URL is not visible. He will probably say his internet cut out in a few hours and he lost all of his upload progress.

Everyone is entitled to make a profit in their business. It's even ok to make a fat profit, I don't care. But at 3400% it's a scam.

Misrepresented himself as creating original artwork/designs and instead uses clip art off the internet. Refuses to return $200 deposit of user LaserViking despite having misrepresented himself as creating original artwork. Once LazerViking caught wind of this WCollector refused to refund deposit and went on an immature rant of cussing and insulting. Very immature. Has still failed to provide irrefutable evidence that his work is not created with a laser engraver after having several dozen requests for him to provide such evidence. Is selling overpriced artwork that is advertised as original and hand-carved when it is not.

This guy stole my money. I commissioned a wood bitcoin from him and down paid 1 BTC. 3 days later, when the truth came out that all of his pieces are designs taken off straight off the internet, I requested a refund. He refused to give my 1 BTC back. The guy is misrepresenting his pieces as original works of art. He asks the customer all sorts of questions about who they are as a person and what makes them tick and how they want piece designed, and says that he will give them a "sketch" of the their description along with what he envisions. But his designs are literally copied right off the internet, down to every little detail. It is a fraud. DO NOT GIVE THIS MAN ANY MONEY.

I do not believe he is physically hand crafting these pieces. I am willing to be proved wrong if he posts a video of him performing the carving.

Lol buddy you sound really butthurt on so many levels.
Your language of choice says a lot. What do I have to fear?
Being wrong? Please... Lol
Waiting for irrefutable evidence of WC's claims.
It was I who first asked him about his work in early dec 2014 where he so eloquently wanted to take the discussion of his work being compared to laser engraving off of the forum.
See here:
From what I gather from the photos you posted above it seems to me (from what I can see) that your piece looks more like this http://i.imgur.com/CoDNGQm.jpg than this http://i.imgur.com/CoDNGQm.jpg
If I am not mistaken it does look a bit flat from the pictures. Could you elaborate to me how it is not like the first link I pasted above?
Lasers also have the ability to go at different depths. I would imagine other more specialized lasers have the ability to move the laser in a 3-dimensional space to carve out an image like the second link you provided above.
All one would need to do is provide the 3dimensional vector image to the system and it would do something as complex as the second link.
Then again that last part I am just guessing as I have not used a 3d laser (if it exists).

Shoot me a PM smoothie, i will go more into detail for you, or do you maybe have skype? I dont want to clutter up the thread with a pages full of talk about the difference between laser engraving and carving. On skype we could have conversation, you could teach me some things i dont know about laser engraving, and i can teach you about the process and results of carving.
People who are butthurt tend to use certain types of language, and yes it appears you are given your language. "Shit sandwich" lol
I've not followed too closely but wasn't there another incident about leaving trust where you got all defensive and didn't get support from people you thought you were entitled?
Even if his claims are true about "hand carved" the guy lied and misrepresented himself in doing original/ custom artwork. Then to use that excuse to steal a customers deposit because the customer was not aware the work was not original. That incident in itself makes the guy a scammer.
See here for evidence:
This was lost in the hard drive crash, but luckily I took a screenshot.
Here's a "master wood carver" who makes ten million dollars a year, calling his detractors fags:
