Artist once used 10,000 toothpicks to make 4 foot long yacht
San Francisco-based toothpick artist Steven J Backman created a yacht using 10,000 toothpicks, measuring over four feet in length. The radio-controlled yacht, which weighed over 6 kilograms, was covered with fiberglass resin for water resistance. Backman took six months to build the yacht, which also consisted of rudders made of toothpicks.
