I have no idea the value of this carving, but Junior Cobb was a neighbor-carved just when he needed money. Carving ~1945-2000 and no idea age of this piece.

1 clarification is that this is Mtn Home Arkansas and not Alaska.

I would be very interested in buying this carving from you; how much would you take for it?
