'Woody' is a 21-foot-long silver salmon sculpture carved from a single log, standing in the parking lot of Buck's of Woodside, a well-known Silicon Valley restaurant at 3062 Woodside Road in Woodside, California. Restaurant owner Jamis MacNiven acquired the piece, attributed to Tlingit carver Enoch Kadashan, in the 1970s; it has sat beside the restaurant ever since, near the creek where real silver salmon spawn.
