I don’t talk about my grandfather Verne very much but recently we were at my grandmother’s apartment for Easter and she had been given a couple of his old woodcarvings that hung in our old church for many years. Not sure why they were eventually taken down but apparently some asshole over there put them in the garbage and some nice person rescued them for my grandmother. Anyway… I will spare the internet a church-related rant and instead show you these wonderful carvings!
They depict symbolism from the Biblical Gospels and are really pretty great. I kind of wish I’d paid a little more attention to my grandfather’s wood carving skills back when he was still alive but to be honest, we were not very close. So it is nice to see some of his work appear out of nowhere for us to enjoy. In fact, if no one in the family claims them, I would be happy to take them.
