Perhaps I misread why the smell was "burnt"?
Isn't carving's only dimension DEPTH given length and width is a given on any flat surface?
Please realize I am no expert in carving and am really just curious.
The smell was "Like Ass" and its because of the UV sealer. As it cures it off gasses and smells like rotten eggs mixed with horse manure.
Its hard to see in some photos of some pieces but carving has many dimensions, A laser printer looks flat like ink on paper, Carving creates many dimensions along the horizontal plane. When you look at
Transcendence you can see that each block that was carved is not only rectangular when looking at it straight on but it is also perfectly round when you look at it from a side view as each block holds 2 shapes as you move around it, thus giving it the appearance that it is moving while it is sitting still. To put it simply,
THIS PIECE was carved, and
THIS PIECE was lasered. you can see that the carved piece ans 3 dimensional characteristics while the lasered piece has no relief or charecter. Lasering is like extruded images.
This is really very, very cool!
big question is, should I include this in my guide of physical crypto coins? perhaps not as a 'normal' entry, but a special page for out-of-the-box things like this.
see it at
www.coinfirm.orgYou may, yes. There will only be 10 coins made this year ranging from $500 to maybe $10,000 or $20,000 each certified by a CoA. You could list the bitcoin addresses used on the CoA as a means of verifying authenticity for future buyers if someone who purchases the piece from me wishes to sell it to someone else. Each piece in the collection will have a name, and each piece will have its own design and be made from a different exotic wood.
