“Rolling through the Bay” is a 9 feet tall, 7 feet wide and 2 feet deep toothpick model of San Francisco that features 4 Ping-Pong ball rolling tracks and several entry points. That’s right, it’s the tracks that make this wooden masterpiece so unique. That’s how Mr. Weaver began his adventure in the world of toothpicks, by building abstract models and rolling Ping-Pong balls on them. It just got out of hand at some point and turned into this amazing model.
The toothpick model of San Francisco took over 3,000 hours of work to complete and over 1,000,000 toothpicks. Luckily, a pack of 750 toothpicks costs just 99 cents, so Weaver can’t say his hobby is too expensive. Ripley’s Believe It or Not offered Scott $40,000 for his unique model, but he isn’t ready to part with it just yet.
