Artist Randall Rosenthal carves sculptures from wood. The results don't much look like wood at all.

That's almost hard to believe. Man...the things some people can, and will, do. Wow.

I like that he includes photos of some of them in progress. Otherwise I'd have trouble believing it, too.

His slogan should be: "It's the Wood That Makes It Good".

Artists do have slogans, right?

Reminds me of Ghost Clock.

(view the largest image--yes, that's one solid piece of wood. It's at the Renwick Gallery here in DC, and I've seen it several times--you can get right up close to it)

Whoa, mrmoonpie, that blows my mind.

Thanks for the "in progress" link because before seeing that I was thinking "there's no bloody way...". And the Ghost Clock is all kinds of awesome.
