Wooden Ratata Gun For the Kid in You

Dutch designer Tomm Velthuis is brilliant when it comes to crafting wood, and his latest Ratata gun stands as living proof. At first glance, Velthuis’ gleaming piece of art is a wooden toy chest with eleven wooden pieces — wooden pieces that you lego together to actually come up with a real-life dimension machine gun. With a highly detailed design and a complex way of putting things together, although the Ratata gun is actually meant as a toy, it obviously appeals to your dark side, too. If only we could solve the world’s nasty problems with wood, eh? [via DesignYearbook]
