I'm thinking the Candlestick provoked Pinocchio into telling a lie... with combustible results.

It's a bit of Fantasy/Fairy Tales, Inanimate Objects, and Alternate Materials: Wood... and probably a few others!

Model Release available for this little guy that I turned to wood.

Thanks to the Usual Suspects for their help!

Combination of themes:
Getting ahead (bodyless head)
Zombiewood (zombie-head)
Wretched Excess (excess of hands)

And thanks to my opponent in the semis for invaluable critique and feedback.

And source credit for the maggots.
