About the Artist
Craig Mason is a Hawai‘i Woodturner who learned to love forests, trees and working with wood at an early age. Woodturning was introduced to him when he was a teenager in woodshop class. He put all his prior interests on hold for several decades while he finished school. Craig Mason also served in the United States Navy, started a private dental practice, and raised a family. From years working with trees salvaged from the waste stream, he developed skills in woodturning and carving . The Hawaiian calabash, with its flowing curves, is his favorite form to carve.
Kolohala or Pheasant Wood
Kolohala wood is Hawaiian pheasant wood, grown in the Hawaiian islands. It is so named for the wood’s resemblance to the coloration and patterns found on the tail-feathers of pheasants. Pheasant wood exhibits the most figure on flatsawn sections of wood. The heartwood is a medium to dark brown, to nearly black, with ligher brown contrasting stripes, sometimes with a red or yellow hue. The striping is due to very wide parenchyma bands. The stripes of the pheasant wood tend to be light and with contrast, especially once a finish has been applied. Pheasant wood is a very close color and grain match to Desert Ironwood. It is excellent for fine articles such as boxes, pens, and more.
