Featured Olllllllld wooden St. Anthony statue

Really, Skeezix, not so very bad??? Thank you. I have no idea how old... well... pre-WWII!

 

OMG!!!! I was ill and had to eat liver when I was about 6-7. That crap may just have been...well...whatever. For many months I was a master at getting it into my pockets at the dinner table...... Until I forgot to take it out.
My Dad asked how long I was doing it. I told him and he said; "Well, it didn't make a difference that you didn't eat it so that's all there will be."

 

I wish my padres had been that sensible and merciful.
It was a sin not to eat what they set before you. The Commandments said so!!!

 

You're talented..... Can you make/carve some new parts?
You surely can age paint them to match up somewhat....
I say this because it wasn't like that when he got it so...

 

After I was Catholic....I was Lutheran (at this point in time) and we're forgiven everything.

I'm still unsure if I'm a Catheran or a Lutherlic.

 

Newsflash... With a flashlight up close, I can see remnants of flesh-colored paint on the faces and hands, and gold-looking paint on the Bible pages top.

 

Oh good!

 

I'm still unsure if I'm a Catheran or a Lutherlic.

I forgive you...for that !!

 

King, I could definitely mold some repairs, probably paper maiche or polymer clay...

 

See!

 

Some woods are easily carved but who wood know.

 

St. Anthony here says he forgives YOU! For that pun.
