[Sca-cooks] Links from Knife Skills: Creating Feasts for the Eyes

[Johnna Holloway]

Thought I should mention that on the online version of this article there
are 11 photos featured in a gallery. Those include close-ups of carving the
flower and pigs done by Saxton Freymann.
There's also a video about carving James Beard's face into a watermelon.

Here are some other links for people and contests mentioned in the article:

Lots of video and news stories about Hugh McMahon who is known as

his name and pumpkin.
