Wood Sculpture from Scotland.

Links.

First some "human" links. I want first to express my grateful thanks to the artist Zigi Sapietis, who has been a great teacher and friend for many years. Much of what I know about wood and wood-carving has come from Zigi. Thanks also to my friends in the Edinburgh Sculpure Workshop - I greatly value their comments, support and help.

Finally, thanks to Stuart McKenzie and Steven Haig for their advice and help in authoring these www pages.
