Throughout every stage of its refinement, care and expert judgment have been applied – in order that those fortunate enough to enjoy it know they are enjoying the very best.<br /><br />Angel Champagne is only available from the Angel web site or through specially selected establishments, which have been approved to stock the Angel range of Champagnes.<br /><br />The range of Angel Champagnes includes non-vintage, vintage and rosé champagne, made with grapes sourced from the very best and premier Crus from the region of Champagne where specialist blenders then apply the centuries-old craft of assemblage in order to perfect the unique Angel taste. Then every bottle of Angel is hand-crafted and ‘finished’ with silver and cut-glass labels, inset gems and platinum finished body. Each hand-finished bottle is unique.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMwIr7WXFpS0T27CSqihj7GhYlA6peHbM48w_bdqduMsBWaC9_OZglTxFwrNg9DsG5jHtRbV_jTlqb3tiQuvrJsUUAdBDgskg44t1h9Cza14UFo99iF2WnuX6TEGdVWrVKw-GbaQR4qoHy/s1600-h/labelcu.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421247710847180978" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMwIr7WXFpS0T27CSqihj7GhYlA6peHbM48w_bdqduMsBWaC9_OZglTxFwrNg9DsG5jHtRbV_jTlqb3tiQuvrJsUUAdBDgskg44t1h9Cza14UFo99iF2WnuX6TEGdVWrVKw-GbaQR4qoHy/s400/labelcu.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 295px; height: 322px;" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGyvGbB1zpEraH4wFWv-hgOSh_AnPOgGXYD8gn-bfIsnwDpOqMlwB_UCEpzXFxk7IrM0WtKDLXKv9Gj7gkexSiv9AmRBoxTkm8srTGGBQAmbs-g8HDDDO7iMV2Rff9AD5jOZoiV69RtIzJ/s1600-h/bottles2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421233491777320386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGyvGbB1zpEraH4wFWv-hgOSh_AnPOgGXYD8gn-bfIsnwDpOqMlwB_UCEpzXFxk7IrM0WtKDLXKv9Gj7gkexSiv9AmRBoxTkm8srTGGBQAmbs-g8HDDDO7iMV2Rff9AD5jOZoiV69RtIzJ/s400/bottles2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 241px; height: 322px;" /></a><br /><br />The iconic style of Angel and the hand finished detailing to the bottle known as ‘the body’ that contains the Champagne & Grande Cuvee Brut is unique to each Angel White and Angel Pink produced.

It grows in Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra and has the appearance of a straight grained wood with fine, even texture. Colors range from creamy-white sapwood and heartwood, maturing to a pale straw-yellow.<br /><br />It is light, soft, brittle, and weak with good stability in service, low decay resistance, and works easily with both hand and power tools.<br /><br />This type of wood planes to a nice, clean surface and glues, screws, and nails without difficulty. Stains, paints, and varnishes fairly well.<br /><br />It is popular for model making, patterns, wooden shoes, battery separators, and drawing boards. Also used for interior joinery and corestock for doors. Excellent wood for carving and sculpture due to its softness. Latex in the wood is extracted for chewing gum.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9J9DJ_OzCXiF3TMyXW2vKmLYem1lGV8qAh2zpXXOs8idTJRlMaQ53IPGI9kpm2GJlK1yBBqrgjM9RHizlwqdLnhigUFmxgFIq8QdLVgRxkxsqzkd9Qa0WgQkETWYxIfcYJwRB_KeUaWl4/s1600-h/Picture+29.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418898058250464658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9J9DJ_OzCXiF3TMyXW2vKmLYem1lGV8qAh2zpXXOs8idTJRlMaQ53IPGI9kpm2GJlK1yBBqrgjM9RHizlwqdLnhigUFmxgFIq8QdLVgRxkxsqzkd9Qa0WgQkETWYxIfcYJwRB_KeUaWl4/s400/Picture+29.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 544px;" /></a><br />above: <strong>Ricky Swallow, Field Recordings</strong><br /><div class="caption"><p>Published by Craftsman House, 2005<br />Edited by Ashley Crawford<br />Text by Justin Paton<br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=iishish-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&asins=0975196510" style="width: 120px; height: 240px;" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br /><br />The artist at work and with his "Killer mask":<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgRODAFEnjW3PFszGxE23Zs8fJfBqHfPUTeEZzekfXK4ZIAv2wSXdY6z2NkIMOh38-rO_zASwrzHqd9LdJb4Wem9qhycKFZUmBnUnwfhatgsMqnz0rn9tfNxtLe_tWZEEAqTbu6LuTc4CA/s1600-h/ricky.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418921708996475074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgRODAFEnjW3PFszGxE23Zs8fJfBqHfPUTeEZzekfXK4ZIAv2wSXdY6z2NkIMOh38-rO_zASwrzHqd9LdJb4Wem9qhycKFZUmBnUnwfhatgsMqnz0rn9tfNxtLe_tWZEEAqTbu6LuTc4CA/s400/ricky.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 251px; height: 251px;" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwObsUwHkXfiwHnztb_8qSY9-ALlzWwa-ZZysh9gzSWH9DRlJNAxCAA65QHPI5-dtRf6CAp01yXlCI2OTL7dAlAUEFQVKK-PViEyr3jChyphenhyphenoGRRzrkOLqzSLudl8mpdjBrPb5o_xXuz67N2/s1600-h/rickyswallow.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418933718232640530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwObsUwHkXfiwHnztb_8qSY9-ALlzWwa-ZZysh9gzSWH9DRlJNAxCAA65QHPI5-dtRf6CAp01yXlCI2OTL7dAlAUEFQVKK-PViEyr3jChyphenhyphenoGRRzrkOLqzSLudl8mpdjBrPb5o_xXuz67N2/s400/rickyswallow.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 244px; height: 252px;" /></a><br />above left photo by Brett Cody Rogers, above right photo by Diana Panuccio<br /><br />Ricky now works and lives in Los Angeles and has several publications to his name and is represented by the following galleries:<br /><br />Modern Art<br />23/25 Eastcastle Street<br />London W1W 8DF<br />T +44 (0)20 7299 7950<br />F +44 (0)20 7299 7951<br /><a href="http://www.modernart.net/">www.modernart.net</a><br /><br />Marc Foxx<br />6150 Wilshire Blvd<br />Los Angeles, CA 90042<br />T +1 323 857 5571<br />F +1 323 857 5573<a href="http://%20www.marcfoxx.com/"><br /></a><a href="http://www.marcfoxx.com/">www.marcfoxx.com</a><br /><br />Darren Knight Gallery<br />840 Elizabeth Street, Waterloo NSW 2017<br />Sydney, Australia<br />T +61 2 9699 5353<br />F +61 2 9699 5254<br /><a href="http://www.darrenknightgallery.com/">www.darrenknightgallery.com</a><br /><br />Hamish McKay Gallery<br />1st Floor, 39 Ghuznee Street<br />Wellington New Zealand<br />T + 64 4 384 7140<br />F + 64 4 384 7142<br /><a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.hamishmckaygallery.com">www.hamishmckaygallery.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/rickyswallow/"><br />Ricky Swallow is presently showing at the National Gallery of Victoria in Australia through February 2010</a></p>Speaking of wood carvings, don't forget to check out: <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzwiAYV1xQGQDjgNFDPnTVPSkHUuvx0ZIvYg4evAPzyiEeCR8U6rXuyeNM6uNGO-E38VXnr7GmQcYAuZS5E_jrDs184lODqfhqZyCqWvsgAG6w0hkpyyigZ12_9r_59VpHyUQz8e7CWRra/s1600-h/Picture+7.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419398356593859170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzwiAYV1xQGQDjgNFDPnTVPSkHUuvx0ZIvYg4evAPzyiEeCR8U6rXuyeNM6uNGO-E38VXnr7GmQcYAuZS5E_jrDs184lODqfhqZyCqWvsgAG6w0hkpyyigZ12_9r_59VpHyUQz8e7CWRra/s400/Picture+7.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 516px;" /></a><p></p><a href="http://ifitshipitshere.blogspot.com/2009/09/peter-rolfes-sculpted-wood-human-form.html">Peter Rolfe's Sculpted Wood Human Form Dressers here<br /></a></div>
