Pastor Scott Bryte’s “Senex, the World’s Oldest Man”

We received a nice email from Pastor Scott Bryte showing us this figure he built.

Dan and Steve,

Thought you might like to see my latest revision of “Senex, the world’s oldest man”. Head is pine, hands are basswood.

His name is Senex (Latin for “Old Man”. The root word of both Senate and Senile)
This is actually a re-working ( a re-re-re-re-reworking, to be honest) of my first figure. He was conceived as a walking figure, but after several failed attempts, I finally gave up on that. He sat unused in my basement for years.

Because of his size, he’s pretty heavy, so the wheel chair is a necessity. He stands about 4’5″ (with his walking body he had been over 5 feet tall).

He also sent us this video of him using “Senex”.
