Those looking for “wood-oven pizza” came to the wrong place. This is about a pepperoni pizza actually made of wood and built to last. Unless you have termites.
Wood Pizza is brought to us by master woodworker, Kyle Toth. Using three types of woods — bloodwood, yellowheart, and hickory — Toth expertly creates the pepperoni, cheese and crust by hand. Those wanting a slice can bring a saw.
See how it’s done below…

Chopping and slicing can get a bit boring. Cutting Boredom to the rescue. Etsy seller and woodworker, Dave Stencil, is here to help make your prep work the best part of home-cooked meals.
Using a mix of woods, pop culture imagery, and creative wordplay — Stencil creates beautiful hand-crafted chopping boards. Check them all our here.
Although we try to ignore what’s going on behind the scenes at a typical fast food restaurant — when it’s stripped down and minimalized, it could be quite beautiful.
At least this version is, by artist Roxy Paine. Officially-titled Carcass, the scale replica fast food kitchen is carved entirely from wood. From the coffee pots to the french fry droppers — Paine spared no detail in the kitchen’s creation. Except the grease stains, and pimply cashiers.
Carcass is on view at Kavi Gupta Gallery in Chicago.
If you’re going to strike back at the rebellion, make sure you’re well-stocked with booze. The Emperor’s Cabinet is a handmade wooden wet bar made to look like an AT-AT from The Empire Strikes Back, and is fit to supply alcohol to the ruler of any galaxy.
The AT-AT bar was created by Vancouver-based artist and woodworker Colin Johnson.
