San Francisco Toothpick Sculpture
Thirty-four years ago, the Rohnert Park resident began gluing the tiny sticks together to form abstract structures. Then he started rolling pingpong balls around them. Soon he built a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge, then Lombard Street.
Three thousand hours and 100,000 toothpicks later, Weaver's whim has spiraled into a massive piece-de-resistance that includes every major landmark of the city that inspired it - and then some.
I always had a dream that I would build the world's largest toothpick sculpture," Weaver says as he climbs a step ladder and plunks a ball into Coit Tower. "It's not, but none of them have a pingpong ball that rolls through it."
