Education
Education
As a child, Reimhult made carvings of animals and men from his surroundings. From 1942 to 1945, he trained at Västervik Bildhuggarskola and then began his career as a sculptor. In 1957 he practiced with Bror Hjorth in Uppsala. His interest in animals and nature helped him to develop his special technique of saw shaping animal sculptures of wood. The saw tool provides a harshness that adds to the character of the sculptures.
