This hand-carved chain, made from a single piece of wood without ever separating it, is completely mind-blowing.

Let’s take a closer look at some of those components.

These wheels spin.

The basketball player takes a shot.

There’s a ball inside a ball inside a ball.

These knots move.

It’s no wonder the artist, Ron Baisley, was proud to carve his initials into the piece, which took him 169 hours to create.

The piece just blew people’s minds.

The clip was so impressive, it ended up on the very aptly named, if slightly NSFW, Reddit forum, r/NextFuckingLevel.

Redditor, u/Tommy-Styxx pointed out the difference between ordinary humans and people like Ron Baisley.

I cut nearly cut my finger off whittling a spear.

And that’s why it deserves to be in r/NextFuckingLevel.
