OLD GEEZER APOCALYPSE ~ Redux

   Posted by: woodbeecarver   in Carving Projects

In May, 2018 the first Old Geezer was carved and this was what was said about him ~ Be warned, “the Old Geezers are coming, the Old Geezers are coming, the Old Geezers are coming ~ it is an Old Geezer Apocalypse.” Old Geezers are all around us.  They may go by other names like grumpy old men, old coots, curmudgeons, codgers, old soldier, old fogy, fuddy-duddy, Gramps or old timer.  One way or another we all are inching our way to becoming an Old Geezer.

This six-inch-tall carving of an Old Geezer is an example of a mental image of such a delightful and fun loving Old Timer who could tell us wonderful tales, some true, some exaggerated and many repeated.  He is a solemn reminder of who we may become, so beware.  One final thought, Old Geezers are fond of whittling as well as spinning yarns.  Join the Old Geezer Apocalypse.

The three photos below are of the original 2018 Old Geezer.

The Old Geezer Gallery that follows is the latest version of this character beginning with the finished presentation and then followed by in progress while the Old Geezer was being carved.  It has been said that “a picture is worth a thousand words,” so allow the photos to tell a visual story of this carving.
