Did you had some wooden dinosaur skeletons when you was a kid ?
I guess you will never feel nostalgic again after you saw this :
Taburin is a Japanese artist who makes incredibly realistic hand-made dinosaur sculptures.
Many of them are in 10% scale and mainly from Japanese chest-nut tree.
I found my new GOD !
1 : he make a study draw on paper from different angles

2 : then report it on a wood piece.

3 : Following the draw, he starts to sculpt the bones.

4 : Making each piece look perfectly realistic.
