WEBSTONES GOES INTERNATIONAL The first traditional, hand-crafted stone by Ronald Henderson to be exported has just been delivered to California, U.S.A.
'The Four Winds' is a fine example of an ancient motif chiselled into sandstone, and is "guaranteed at least 100 years", according to the sculptor.
Upon being quizzed on the danger of it breaking in California - it being an earthquake zone - Ronald quipped "the only danger of a break is if it falls on you".
Despite being in an earthquake zone this product is designed and built to last.
Here's the stone - I'm sure you'll agree it's a beauty
THE FOUR WINDS TUATH - FUACHD IS GAILLION (NORTH - COLD AND STORM) EAR - TEAS IS TORADH (EAST - WARMTH AND FRUIT) DEAS - MEAS AIR CRAOBHAN (SOUTH - FRUIT ON TREES) IAR - IASG IS BAINNE (WEST - FISH AND MILK)
For those interested in seeing more of Ron's work ...
Examples can be viewed in the 'Roost' restaurant in the Bridge of Earn,
and
Comlongon Castle in Dumfries.
The recently released CD 'Pictish Soul' - a collection of pipe tunes and quotations from Tacitus, a Roman historian - carries a photograph of one of Ronald's carvings, 'The Pictish Beastie'.
The CD is available from Jock Ferguson at www.scots-weddings.co.uk
