Amazing Tree Trunk

Zheng Chunhui, a famous Chinese wood carver, spent over four years creating this masterpiece.

That’s what it took to create this incredible masterpiece.

He chopped down a single tree and tirelessly worked on it for over four years to make this piece. 

 

The carving is based on the famous Chinese painting

“Along the River During the Qingming Festival.”

The original artwork was created over 1,000 years ago.

The piece won the Guinness World Record for the longest wooden carving and measures over 40ft (specifically, it is 12.286 meters long, is 3.075 meters tall

at it highest point, and is also 2.401 meters wide)

The intricate carvings of daily life in ancient China are so detailed and perfect.  

 

It’s no surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so much attention.

That was 8,760 hours well spent.
