The Journey of Oliver K. Woodman by Darcy Pattison, illustrated by Joe Cepeda

From chapters.ca:
Uncle Ray (a resident of Rock Hill, South Carolina, and a carpenter), isn't free to visit Tameka, his favorite niece, in Redcrest, California, so he sends a substitute. He builds a wooden man and places him along the road for a westward traveler to adopt. Folks of all sorts join the adventure, sending letters and postcards back to Uncle Ray to report on Oliver K. Woodman's whereabouts, and Oliver gradually makes his way across the country to meet Tameka. In the end, they all meet for a joyous reunion in South Carolina.
