About the Artist
Growing up in Hawaiʻi John always liked trees. He likes to climb them, to hide in their shade on hot days, and whenever he can to work with their wood. Trees are trimmed or become windfalls after a storm, raw material for turning wooden bowls. John works with wood from trees introduced to Hawaiʻi by Polynesian settlers or others after Captain Cookʻs visit, that are found on the Windward side of Oʻahu where he lives. He’s inspired by the supple curves of traditional Hawaiian bowl forms, and by the endless patterns and forms that may be found inside the wood.
Rambutan
Rambutan- Nephelium lappaceum. An evergreen tropical fruit tree growing to a height of 10 to 20m tall. The flowers are small, alternate and long. Fruit is a round to oval drupe, leathery skin is reddish and covered with fleshy pliable spines. The Malayan word rambutan which means hairs. Fruit is closely related to the lychee, longan, and mamoncillo. The wood from the rambutan tree is hard to get. Most of the time people want to leave the tree to grow so they can harvest the fruit. The wood is medium hard and has a nice cream color with light brown streaks. The grain is nice and can be curly, it works well and sands good.
