RANDALL ROSENTHAL'S AMAZING MONEY BOX SCULPTURE

I've always enjoyed Trompe L'Oeil art (literally, "Fool the Eye"). Len Augsburger forwarded this article about an artist who crafts amazingly realistic wood sculptures of money. Thanks! -Editor

A skill like woodworking takes years and thousands of hours to become more than just a proficient at, but this man invested that time to be a certifiable master. His name is Randall Rosenthal and he has talent that can result in mind-bending illusions. The project in the gallery below all started with three pieces of white pine he glued together. What he turned that block of wood into is so cool.
