Fix your links!


I am so, very much so, in on this one. Sure, just take even more of my money Emmanuel. Just got Clipped Wings and now right to this? I'm sure Delicious will be right behind Sawdust then too. Obviously uncuts will be available (yes?), hopefully signed options again as well so I can keep my theme going? Pumped.

I got 'em. Odd, because they didn't display properly, but when I went to edit them, it all looked fine, I just hit "Preview" and everything worked, so I save it.

Can't wait!!!!

I've seen that happen before, Mike. No idea what causes it, very strange.

Anyway, I'm also looking forward to this

Thank you, everyone! ecNate, the Sawdust uncut sheet will be available

I´ll be picking up my Clipped Wings reward tomorrow from the customs office (Uncut Sheet plus Deck) - well i need to find a place on my wall for the Sawdust Uncut!

Looks great, Emmanuel! Definitely getting an uncut, as well as several spare decks.

@Emmanuel- I can't find any flaws with this deck. I love and hate the ultra fine borders. You are the best modern transformation artist in playing cards today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transforma ... aying_card Let me see. Will I get any decks from you?

No EBs, but I am in no matter what. Including uncut. Backer #1, first time I've pulled that off, too bad it doesn't mean anything.

Yeah no Early Bird pledge tiers.
Its also more expensive now
I paid for the Early Bird Clipped Wings Uncut Sheet plus Deck $55
$40 (+ International shipping fee of $15.00)

Now its $20 ($5 more then before) for shipping and $10 more for the Pledge reward.

Hey ! We forgot to do the contest !

I noticed that too, and combined with no EB's I didn't feel like pledging right away this time. Starred for now.

I don't generally like transformation decks. Clipped Wings, while I could appreciate it's artistic value, simply didn't do it for me.

But, looking at the uncut sheet image above... um... hmmm... I think this may possibly be the first transformation deck I'm going to pick up.

Starring for now.

Although, it's still similar in cost to a number of other projects, but also includes signatures which does take considerable extra effort as a group. As we call know though, uncuts really aren't that much more expensive to produce, but shipping is a real factor. While unfortunate that the cost went up, it's not horrible considering they are signed and certainly not a deal breaker. At least not for me.

Posted this elsewhere, but hopefully there are ad cards that can be used for Jokers since the actual ones use alternate backs and would ruin any Joker required games. I guess I can always pull out Curator or another deck for those if needed. I do love that artistic twist on them though.

Thank you so much to everyone who has pledged so far! ecNate, All 56 cards have the same back.

I didn't include early birds in this campaign due to what I saw in the Clipped Wings campaign: Over half of the $9 EB spots were occupied by people with multiple accounts (some up to 4 accounts). I don't fault anyone for creating multiple accounts, but it was eye-opening to see the effect it had.

I also have to admit that I underestimated the international shipping for uncut sheets and prints when it came time to ship Clipped Wings, which is why there's a $5 increase.

Thanks for the update on the Jokers, the way the video was worded it seemed to suggest the front/back views were on the same card. The uncut now makes more sense as well. Also, thanks for keeping the deck/uncut signature tier.

REALLY looking forward to Delicious already now that I'm pledged here, that 10 of clubs is brilliant! I might need an art print of that for my home bar.

Another winner of a deck Emmanuel. In for the uncut of course and will be adding a few decks later when I'm on something other than my phone.

Multiple accounts be damned! Now matter how you cut it, it still stinks.

I feel that for once the front of the tuckbox is lacking, perhaps having people wasting into the tent would be good

While I agree with you I'm happy he didn't for the sake of consistency. It matches his other two decks this way.

Well the consistency across the 3 decks aren't all that similar except for the colour scheme and clean look, if this tuckbox has the signatures printed on like in curator it would make the tuckbox look that much more balanced, or is Emmanuel going to hand sign every deck ?

Hi everyone, thank you so much for making it a great first day for Sawdust! It's nearly 50% funded, and I was very happy to see a lot of forum members backing Sawdust

Surprised this isn't funded yet, still about $7k to go. I'm sure it will over time, still 16 days left, but thought we would have hit it by now. Good thing we didn't do the 'guess when it funds' game, because my guess was going to either be 36 or 50 hours!

If only I lived closer to NYC, I would have jumped on the Big Show tier.

It´s more expensive then the other 2 decks. That might be the case

@Emmanuel - Why come you don't have the year 2014 on your box? And since it's made from the USPCC why not have this on the box also "Bicycle Stock and Air-Cushion Magic Finish". A hundred years from now ppl shouldn't have to guess.

Hi Russell, I'm not quite sure what you mean. A lot of modern decks don't have the year or the stock and finish printed on their tuck cases.

Yeah, especially for this deck I don't think that really matters.

Hi everyone, I'm holding a couple of contests offsite from Kickstarter since the Sawdust campaign is now more than halfway over. Please take a look if interested!
