Here is mine I had custom carved I knew I would never have the coin to spend 10-15K for a real one,, I have some hard money in this one too but nothing like that but this one has far more detail than even the real Case cast one like above,, this one is almost 6 feet tall also and weighs around 500 lbs

WOW! The person that carved that for you is really talented. How long did it take to complete it? Is it made from one chunk of wood.
 

[Case Nutty 1660]

one chunk of wood yes,, guy was from WI he worked on it for about a month he said,, sadly I have never been able to contact him after he brought it to me,, I am afraid he passed away as his web page was deleted and his phone was shut off a very talented guy a few more of his works here, that was him standing beside my Abe

Do you know which town he was from? There's a wood carver in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin that has carved a few trolls from tree stumps around that town. Trolls are popular there because of the descendants from Norway that live there.
