Impressive.  If you want to see how he got from the trunk to the finished item, there are some great shots on this page

Ars gratia artis, i.e., Art for arts sake.  I had a teacher who used to say that art, true and beautiful art (not that shit by turd cutters like Yoko Ono and others of that creatures kind) is it's own raison d'etre, which roughly means "reason for being".


This sculpture in wood is a well done piece of art.

I see it as an ironic tribute to his wooden acting in his film 'career'. Alternatively, how he often made decisions using his wooden pecker rather than whatever's inside his head (probably cheese fondue fused with brain tissue).

I'm going to go out on a limb and say he started this sometime in the 90's and, for whatever reason, decided to see it through.

This guy may be on to something here.  He should release a signature series.  I would order a Coleman and a Yates and have them finally go head to head in my front yard, put all the controversy to rest.
