Frank Finney Life-size Flying Wild Turkey

Frank S. Finney (b. 1947) Capeville, VA, 2022 48 in. long, 58 in. wingspan

This is among the greatest turkey carvings by any maker and it's among Finney's finest work. This life-size gobbler is full-bodied with extensive detail from front to back, including carved feathers. It is hollow and fitted with a mounting plate for hanging on a wall or the custom stand which is included with the work.

This is the first work of its kind to ever be offered at auction. Only one comparable was made over a decade ago, which resides in a private collection. Signed "F.F." on the backside of the mounting plate. Original paint with minimal wear.
