Idols made of wood have not much financial value and are easily carved and made. In Bible Days, right until today, people often make wooden idols. Even they are of not much financial value, they are usually expensive to buy. Maybe we are tempted to buy one as a gift for someone, or even decorate (irreligiously) our home with them. Definitely not! We should not possess such abominations, nor pass them to other people.
