First off, we like the work of wood sculptor Randall Rosenthal because he does really fantastic work with one-block of wood, and transforms it into something that looks so realistic it's scary. Second, we like Randall because he is not afraid to show you some of his process to get to the final product from said block of wood.

It started with a Nintendo made of wood, then a walkman made of wood, then it became an Olde "E" 40oz made of reconstructed glass pieces, then it was a cardboard Air Jordan, and that is when we realized we really liked the work of Mike Leavitt.

Italian woodcarver artist, Willy Verginer, creates these very realistic wooden sculptures of people, with an addition of a simplistic layer of color. Each sculpture is life-sized, entirely sculpted from wood.

Ron van der Ende is a sculptor living in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. That is the simple explanation of who he is. But what makes him impressive is that van der Ende specializes in wall mounted bas-reliefs constructed from found wood. He is a photorealistic sculptor using found wood.
