Rolling through the bay is an abstract toothpick sculpture of San Francisco made by Scott Weaver. It has about 100,000 of toothpicks. The amazing part, is that is has four ping pong ball paths that roll through different landmarks of San Francisco. It was built in about 3000 hours over a period of 34 years and the only glue used is Elmer’s.
His friends and family members also collect toothpicks in their travels for him. For example, some of the trees in Golden Gate Park are made from toothpicks from Kenya, Morocco, Spain, West Germany and Italy. The heart inside the Palace of Fine Arts is made out of toothpicks people threw at their wedding.
