some people have too much time on their hands.........and too much patience! (if you really can have too much of either of those).
Impressive, to say the least. But am not particularly tempted to give it a shot myself.

I admire a person with that much patience, something which I am sadly lacking.

Those which you are going to see on pictures are made by Steven <A target="_blank" href="http://landmarksofsf.com/bio.html">Backman</A>. For some of those sculptures really needed some time. For the example, for this wooden boat it was needed about 6000 toothpicks, but for the beautiful, amazing, cool, remarkable golden gate bridge it was used 30000 toothpicks and took more then a two years for construction. But it was worth of it, don’t you think so? There are also a few more cool and interesting sculptures.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thecontaminated.com/toothpick-sculptures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/thecontaminated.com/img/9C0A09BD-F107-4F4C-84CF-85629AD8F270" alt="wooden boat" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thecontaminated.com/toothpick-sculptures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/thecontaminated.com/img/9B712836-6FC6-4C72-A39F-A9645D3E5839" alt="toothpick building" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thecontaminated.com/toothpick-sculptures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/thecontaminated.com/img/6D9113E6-22E4-422B-AEAF-DCC3DFECA314" alt="wooden golden gate bridge" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thecontaminated.com/toothpick-sculptures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/thecontaminated.com/img/9997B9D9-2BA1-4AE3-A297-4F03CE7A66AF" alt="toothpick sculpture" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thecontaminated.com/toothpick-sculptures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/thecontaminated.com/img/AB4304AF-F351-474D-B5B3-862C1A09ED6D" alt="toothpick face" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thecontaminated.com/toothpick-sculptures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/thecontaminated.com/img/5D0FA700-1CC1-434F-B82B-441E8B823A02" alt="wooden state liberty" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://thecontaminated.com/toothpick-sculptures/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/thecontaminated.com/img/F79C1683-646A-473A-845E-B7F845D50C96" alt="toothpick sculptures" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/F7A4D7BB-13A0-41A8-AB83-D0E4DC02C5EA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
