LITTLE CHUTE, Wis. (AP) - It's not dogs playing poker or Elvis on black velvet, but it's definitely more than a little cheesy.

A Wisconsin sculptor (Troy Landwher) has carved a version of John Trumbull's painting "Declaration of Independence" in a 2,000-pound block of cheddar.

I bet that would go nicely with some canned bacon.  :-)

I couldn't find a pic of his recent work so here is 'Mount Cheesemore'.

You are blessed with artistic riches in Wisconsin. Have you seen these live?

Shouldn't Elsie the Cow's face be in there somewhere?

That was a joke, right?  :lmao:

I will admit to have seeing the odd giant butter or cheese sculpture at a county fair here or there. *blushes*

Someone sculpted a 12 foot chedder penis for some hippy festival a couple years back.  Unfortunatly I missed that one.
I always wondered what the giant cracker for it looked like.
