Tiny imaginary cities carved out of wood

Wood you believe these carefully crafted sculptures?! An intricate and painstakingly tedious task, these cities created from a variety of wooden materials have had us gawping in awe - from the simpler cityscapes to the surreal table sculptures.

Created by artist and sculptor James McNabb, he carves every single building by hand before becoming these extraordinarily detailed cityscapes. Using a bandsaw for his work, McNabb takes pleasure from the way the marks of the saw blade mimic the real-world textures and patterns you would find in a real city environment.

"Like viewing the skyline from across the Hudson, I aim to make each of my sculptures engaging from across the room," McNabb explains. Well, we can certainly say that he's caught our attention.
