100,000 Toothpicks

40 years ago artist Scott Weaver started working on an amazing piece of art, and he hasn’t stopped. The most impressive bit: It is composed entirely of toothpicks (thousands and thousands of them). Scott started making sculptures when he was just 8 years-old. Many of his pieces were several feet tall, which is more than most of us can probably say. Then, in 1974, he had a bit of a breakthrough. Scott started a new sculpture, and shortly added the Golden Gate Bridge and Lombard Street to it. This is what started (what is now known as) Rolling Through the Bay.
