San Francisco street view model handmade using 100,000 toothpicks over 35 years

San Francisco street view model handmade using 100,000 toothpicks over 35 years

American handicraft artist Scott Weaver spent 35 years and used more than 100,000 toothpicks to handcraft a model depicting the street scene of San Francisco, USA - Rolling Thru The Bay. It is worth mentioning that the toothpicks he used in the production process were not randomly bought from downstairs of his home, but were collected from all over the world through relatives and friends.

In the production of such complicated handicrafts, there is no cutting corners in the details. Windmills, Chinese dragons, gunboats, etc. are all DIYed very realistically and delicately. Having such concentration and perseverance is the secret to achieving a handmade work that is shocking from the heart!
