Like art? Like wood? Oh, boy, are you in for a treat.

Michael Rae, sculptor, bases his art in geek culture, which is why you see this gigantic gun that could well be out of Doom. It’s called the Lysistrata, which is Greek for “big wooden gun made by Michael Rae.”

Wired has more pictures of this guy’s work, all of which look pretty cool.

It’s safe to say Rae’s sculpting skills eclipse mine—I think I carved a piece of soap in cub scouts in the third grade.
