Toothpick Art

Steven J. Backman has been creating toothpick sculptures for over 30 years - everything from a thirteen foot long sculpture of the Golden Gate Bridge to radio controlled toothpick boats that actually work in water.

It took 30,000 toothpicks and 30 months of work to create the thirteen-foot-long model of the Golden Gate Bridge shown above.

Weighing 14.4 lbs and measuring just under four and a half feet in length, the radio controlled yacht consumed an incredible 10,000 toothpicks and six months of the artist's time
