The Artist about himself

I am a local boy who was born and raised in Kapahulu. After going to college and working in California, I returned home to get married and raise a family. After sending our two kids to college, I found I had more free time on my hands to fulfill my artistic desires.

 

One of the things that really piqued my interest actually came from a demonstration of wood turning at Nohea Gallery when it was located in Ward Warehouse. But it wasn’t until 2020 when I finally bought my lathe and began turning.

 

Although I’m relatively new to the craft, I am a passionate wood turner who loves to turn mostly bowls. I truly enjoy discovering the secrets within each piece of timber that makes each piece one of a kind. I let the wood dictate the overall shape and size while I focus on bringing out the natural beauty.

Cherry

The heartwood of cherry varies from rich red to reddish brown and will darken with age and on exposure to light. In contrast, the sapwood is creamy white. The wood has a straight-grain, a fine, uniform, satiny and smooth texture, and naturally may contain brown pith flecks and small gum pockets. Cherry is used for fine furniture and cabinet making, moulding and millwork, kitchen cabinets, paneling, flooring, doors, boat interiors, musical instruments, turnings, and carvings.

 

Weight and measurement in the ‘additional information’ tab includes packing for shipping.
