I get a couple of emails a week asking about John L. Clarke and his carvings. Many ask about the value of their carvings and if I am interested in purchasing them. As a result, I decided to start a want ads section to my Clarke website. This is a place where you can sell your carvings or bronze, or even place an ad to look for a Clarke carving.
If you send me a couple of pictures and information about the what you want to sell or buy, I will add it to this page and who knows, you may find a customer or someone who wants to sell their carving. This section is not limited to just John's carvings but may include his painting or bronze castings from his work. I am going to charge a small fee for items for sale. - $30 for a three months ad - that way I can pay for my Yahoo account and maybe buy a couple of sixpacks of Moose Drool. You can pay by check or use this PayPal button to pay by credit card.
