A California artist has spent the last 34 years building a rendition of San Francisco made out of toothpicks.

It started as a school project, and 1 million toothpicks later, it's now complete.

The replica city is seven feet wide, nine feet high, and it has entrances for ping pong balls.

It has its own scenic drive, and 50 feet of ping pong trails wind down Lombard St., across the Golden Gate Bridge and many other attractions.

"We got BART, the Bay Bridge, Alamos Square, and two cable cars," said sculptor Scott Weaver.

Ripley's Museum has offered Weaver $40,000 for the piece, but he turned them down.

"It is really hard for me to say I would give it up because it's part of my life," Weaver explained.
