About The Artist

My photo
Crofter, Sculptor, Photographer...my work is very diverse. 6000 years ago a huge forest covered Scotland it is sometimes refered to as the Great Caledonian Forest. My main work is finding pieces of this forest, usually in the peat bogs locally, then enhancing their natural shapes. The finish is highly polished using a combination of wire wool and bees wax. The end product is known as "Scottish Bog Wood Sculpture"

BogPineArt Work In Progress


The following Sculptures are all in various stages of development. They will be available in the finished form for sale at the end of October 2012. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

I was asked the other week "how long does it take to make the sculptures?"....Good question.
Sometimes it may take a year or so just looking at the piece occasionally, from different angles and varying light. The basic shape may come instantly, more usually it averages out at about four months
Once I have the basic shape (as seen below) my work is focused on achieving the polished finish. Not all the surface is polished, although it does depend on the subject.
