Jim DeBoer 92 from Iowa made these all out of wood. They have movable and removable parts. He began carving when he was 12 years old. Zoom in and look at the work put into it. Each takes between 80 and 100 hours to complete. Just amazing.

Pretty amazing, not just the quality but the quantity as well.

A lifetime's work and passion. Hopefully they will be kept together as a collection and displayed someplace for people to enjoy and appreciate.

Agreed. Deere should pick them up when the time comes...

I have actually seen a number of Grinlin Gibbons carvings close up They are truly amazing
My wife was not paticularly interested but I found myself repeatedly going back into the room to view the carvings again
