He joined the pine pieces together into one base.   Slowly carve an interesting shape   It doesn't look symmetrical.     Jagged edges. What could this be?     Hmmmm...   What is the author aiming for?   Here it's already starting to look like a cardboard box.   By carving wood and creating strange spaces, he created the feeling of a cardboard box containing something.   Hours of carving to create the corrugated cardboard feel   The result was perfect.   He took a break from carving and moved on to painting elements in different shades.   Carefully draw what was supposed to be inside the box: piles of money. The final piece: Old money   After meticulously sketching the details, he began adding color to the cardboard.     No matter how much I look at the work, I can't convince myself that it's not a chest full of money.   Japanese television also interviewed Roland about this work of his.   Look closely at the banknotes.   The elastics and the pleats look so real. stunning.  source
