Wrong.
This is not proof of anything except that you had a conversation with him and he showed you some pictures, but hey, everyone knows if you repeat your bullshit enough times some of it might stick right? You are still in fact judging him guilty before any proof was presented. Your unanswered questions and speculation of his guilt based on a conversation you had and a picture of carving tools is not proof of anything.
I've worked with a laser engraver and his work does look laser engraved so I told him directly what I thought. See my long post above where I approached him nicely about it in dec 2014.
So no you can't say there wasn't any evidence that he was being dishonest as he already has been proven dishonest by saying he never said he does original/custom work but then I have found several of his own posts where he clearly and strongly implies he does do original work...just to find out he uses clip art off of the internet. So no...he now has reason to be doubted as he misrepresented himself as an artist that does original/custom work.
Burden of proof is on WoodCollector.
I own a laser engraver. This looks nothing like laser engraving. Laser engraved pieces are left CHARRED not just darker than the surrounding wood. High RPM rotary tools have that effect, not laser etchers.
As far as him supposedly lying, I already addressed this point multiple times. He used LICENSED works which were then MODIFIED, making it under law a DERIVATIVE WORK of which he has the LEGAL RIGHT to claim as his own. Furthermore he NEVER DENIED using stock images as a base.
Again, all of your claims are baseless and based on theories, not facts.
