New photo Artist carves life-size 6ft 2in statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger out of a black oak stump

IT’S the Tree-minator — a life-size statue of Arnold Schwarzenegger carved out of a stump.

The 6ft 2in likeness took artist James O’Neal six months to fashion from a black oak trunk.

Arnie was nicknamed The Austrian Oak as a bodybuilder.

He is also known for being  an Austrian-American actor, filmmaker, businessman, investor, author, philanthropist, activist, politician and for serving two terms as the Governor of California from 2003 to 2011.

James, of New Jersey, US, said: “This piece is why I carve trees.

It’s got crazy grain, so much character.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”

Kim says: “I am no super-thin Hollywood actress. I am built for men who like women to look like women.”
