First of all, thank you for your interest in our artwork. It’s truly great knowing the world values this form of artistic expression.

We offer 2 ownership options:

1. Auctions – for auction to the public on Opensea.io/woodcutart

2. Shop – for sale in our shop to the public on shop.woodcutart.com

Auction owners will own 100% Exclusive Physical & Digital Rights to the art piece they win in the auction. We secure this ownership right for the highest bidder by listing the item on the Opensea NFT platform. We understand this is a newer technology, so if you would like to learn more about the way it works, please read the guide below.

Shoppers who buy from our shop will receive art that may be sold multiple times on multiple platforms including in our shop and on other marketplaces. If you would like to check our latest shop information and policies, please see shop.woodcutart.com.

Every piece is handmade & unique. From conception to production – auction and shop winners will experience an art piece found nowhere else!

Prerequisites

• A Digital Wallet: You need a digital wallet compatible with Ethereum, such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or Fortmatic.
• Ethereum (ETH): You need to have ETH in your wallet to make purchases. You can buy ETH from exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, or directly within some wallets.

Step 1: Set Up Your Digital Wallet

Choose a Wallet: For this guide, we’ll use MetaMask as an example.
Install MetaMask: Download and install MetaMask from MetaMask.io.
Create a Wallet: Follow the instructions to create a new wallet and secure your recovery phrase.
Add ETH to Your Wallet: Buy ETH through MetaMask or transfer it from another wallet or exchange.

Step 2: Connect Your Wallet to OpenSea

Visit OpenSea: Go to OpenSea.io.
Connect Wallet: Click on the wallet icon in the top right corner and choose MetaMask (or your preferred wallet).
Authorize Connection: Approve the connection in your wallet.

Step 3: Browse and Select an NFT

Explore NFTs: Choose which of our art pieces you would like – Opensea.io/woodcutart

Step 4: Buy the NFT

Check Price: Ensure you have enough ETH in your wallet to cover the cost of the NFT and the transaction fees (gas fees).

Click “Buy Now”: On the NFT’s page, click the “Buy Now” button or enter an Auction Bid.

Review Transaction: Confirm the details of your purchase, including the total cost.

Complete Purchase: Click “Confirm” in your wallet to finalize the transaction.

Step 5: Confirm the Purchase

Transaction Confirmation: Wait for the transaction to be confirmed on the Ethereum network. This might take a few minutes.

Digital Ownership Transfer: Once confirmed, the NFT will appear in your wallet and on your OpenSea profile under “My Items.”

Physical Ownership Transfer: Once you receive your NFT is sold, we will coordinate shipment arrangement to the verified X.com (formerly twitter) profile connected to your Opensea account. This is to ensure delivery to the valid owner. We will request your preferred delivery service and will cover shipping cost to most locations if that is the method you prefer.

Tips and Considerations

Gas Fees: Be aware that gas fees can vary greatly depending on network congestion. Consider checking the current gas fees and possibly timing your purchase when fees are lower.

Security: Always keep your wallet’s recovery phrase secure and never share it with anyone. Ensure you are on the correct OpenSea website to avoid phishing scams.

Why Opensea?: We seek to embrace the world of timeless artistic creations in the world of new technology. Auctioning the artwork on Opensea allows us to mint the art on the blockchain as an NFT. The blockchain technology behind NFTs provides a permanent, transparent, and tamper-proof record of ownership and provenance. Recipients of the artwork will not only receive a physical art piece sent to them, but also digital ownership of the original.
