Wooden Saxophones - Odd But True

Not talking about the neck, but the whole sax. Saw this weird listing on ebay yesterday for a wooden sax from some place in Java or somewhere. They aren't too good at writing in English so it's hard to get a good feel for their offering. I did a bit of searching and found a site called saxwood.net. They really do produce a full saxophone line of wooden saxes. As far as I can tell, the saxes are playable and they have a number of youtube style videos up with a few guys playing these things. I have a lot more questions about these things than answers, and the language barrier doesn't help much. But for what it's worth, it is unique and intriguing. If I end up some day with more money than I can reasonably use, maybe I'll buy one of these as a curiosity. I've certainly done plenty of curiosity buying in the past!
