I just thought this would be a fun way to wind down the work week: I found in my aimless Internet travels this morning an image of an R2D2 model the artist amoebabloke made from an old wooden beer barrel.

The artist would like to see the piece go to someone “with a genuine love for this sort of thing not someone with deep pockets who would buy it on a whim.” He hopes to raise enough from the sale to cover, “my time spent making it and my materials and a few quid to fund the next project, once that figure has been reached a percentage of the profit would go to charity.”
