Chuck Christopher - Welded Steel Sculpture

http://www.chuckchristopher.com/



This small but enjoyable site is a showpiece for Chuck Christopher's lifesize wildlife sculptures, each one constructed from welded steel. There is a gallery with decent quality photographs of the sculptures in situ, plus information about their construction, and a section covering work in progress. However, the site would be significantly enhanced by the addition of more detailed annotation and background information about the artist. [GAS, 11 Sep 2006].

It features high-quality photographs of the company's products, as well as lots of background information on the company, manufacturing techniques, installation, plinths and personalisation.

Fine's Gallery - Marble and Bronze Handcarved Sculptures

http://www.finesgallery.com/



Florida-based Fine's Gallery describes itself as a "unique company that wholesales and retails beautiful marble and bronze creations. We sell marble and bronze fountains, statues, busts, benches, tables, benches, planters, vases, fireplaces, mantels, ballusters, stairs, furniture, oriental rugs, jade and custom designed pieces designed by master artists which are carved from fine Italian marble". The site is essentially a showcase for these products; divided into three basic sections - covering marble products, bronze products and home decor - the sheer number of menus on the homepage (six, including text, graphics and imagemaps) makes the site look much more complex than it really is. Otherwise, the design of the site is very good, with a neat layout and excellent quality images. [GAS, 11 Sep 2006].
