About the Artist
Kit Beuret is a kama’aina artisan specializing in hand-turned wood bowls that merge natural beauty with fine craftsmanship. Each piece showcases the unique grain and character of Hawaiian wood. Kit says, “It all starts with a chainsaw and ends with sandpaper and varnish. In between there’s a lathe, many specialized tools and a considerable amount of wood shavings and sawdust.”
Mahogany
Hawaiian Mahogany is native to the West Indies. As compared to Swietenia Macrophylla, Hawaiian Mahogany (Mahogani) is slightly heavier and more dense. Mahogany is a commercially important lumber. It is prized for its beauty, durability, and color, and used for paneling and to make furniture, boats, musical instruments and other items. Much of the first-quality furniture made in the American colonies from the mid 18th century was made of mahogany. That was when the wood first became available to American craftsmen.
The trees are common as ornamentals. In the Philippines, environmentalists are calling for an end to the planting of mahogany because of its negative impact on the environment and wildlife, including possibly causing soil acidification and no net benefit to wildlife.
