I hate to say that, while all the dimensions and angles provide completely realistic possibilities, a lot of those look very fake. This one, I think, is a painting of a pencil and not a real piece of wood at all. The hammer is a different color than the graphite below it.
That said, they are amazing either way.

i don't find any difference in this one compared to others.. they are all fake or all real.. and with the link to the actual artist i would have to say they are most likely authentic.. but i don't blame you for being skeptical.. it is too far out to me too..
i have searched the net about him and it appears to be totally true over and over....he was a Brazilian born, Connecticut based, Dalton Ghetti carefully crafts the tips of pencils into amazing micro sculptures. These miniature masterpieces are a side project for the professional carpenter, who has been perfecting this art for the last 25 years. Dalton uses a razor blade, sewing needle, a sculpting knife, a steady hand and lots of patience to meticulously carve the graphite which can take anywhere between a few months to a few years. Over time he has broken many works in progress and keeps them in what he calls the cemetery collection. One of the most fascinating things about these tiny works of art is that he has never sold them, only given away to friends as gifts.
