Need to touch up some of the gold leaf, but this project is nearly done.😎

This little side project is coming along nicely. Need to gold leaf the letters and the recessed area around the Bitaxe and then decide on a mounting solution. Not sure if this should be wall mounted or not…

Bitcoin is a perfectly balanced system.

Progress update.. Letters are carved. Gothic letters take a really long time but they’re also a lot of fun. Currently working on the frame niche for the Bitaxe. Gonna need to touch up the letters again later, but I’ll do that after I finish everything else.

One more letter to go. Then some sanding and carving out a niche for the bitaxe itself. I may add gold leaf to the letters as well to match the pcb board…

This is the face I get when I’ve been working too much and haven’t given Toshi enough treats for being a good good boy.

Wet sanding continues. I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t boring. But this is where the real magic happens. As you go to higher and higher grits of sandpaper, the stone becomes more translucent, revealing a hidden visual depth and beauty that’s worth the tedium. Back to work…
