Rohnert Park artist Scott Weaver has built a 9′ tall model of San Francisco using 100,000 toothpicks. The installation “Rolling Through the Bay” took 35 years to create and features a ball that rolls through the toothpick sculpture, touring famous San Francisco locations. It made its debut on Tuesday at the Sonoma County Fair winning “Best of Show”. Here’s a video on the project by The Press Democrat.

how much weed did it take to build this?
this might be the coolest thing i have ever seen in the history of the internet. seriously what an amazing project.
Absolutely amazing. What an inspiration!
I just found this page with StumbleUpon and this is awesome..
And speaking of the history of the internet… I was very pleased to see positive comments and no shouts of “shopped”. lol
*Thumbs-up*
I’m perplexed at all the negative comments around the net about him wasting his time. It’s _his_ time and he can do whatever he wants with it. He enjoyed making it. He contributed something to society.
