About the Artist
Tom Young is a member of The American Association of Woodturners and a charter member of the Honolulu Woodturners Club. He is self-taught, beginning in 1990 to turn bowls from local Hawaiian woods and selected other species.
Tom’s bowls are typically about 1/8 inch thick. The larger the diameter of the bowl, the thicker the walls. The bowls are sanded with 1000 grit sandpaper, and finished with multiple coats of a Danish type oil. After that the pieces are polished using Tripoli and White Diamond, and then finally coated with carnauba wax and buffed.
Artist Statement
“I consider my pieces artistic woodturnings as opposed to utilitarian. They are thin, consistent throughout, and finely finished. The shape flows and does not have any abrupt changes in the curve. While some of the pieces may also be useful, they are made as a visual and tactile art form. They are things to admire on a shelf, on the table, or in a collection. They are things to be picked up and caressed.”
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is the name for several species of trees and the commercial spice products that some of them produce. All are members of the genus Cinnamomum in the family Lauraceae. Only a few Cinnamomum species are grown commercially for spice. Cinnamomum verum is sometimes considered to be “true cinnamon”, but most cinnamon in international commerce is derived from the related species Cinnamomum cassia, also referred to as “cassia”. In 2016, Indonesia and China produced 75% of the world’s supply of cinnamon.
Cinnamon is a dense evergreen tree native to the rain forests of Sri Lanka, Myanmar and the Malabar Coast of India. It also grows well in Hawaii. The adult trees have an attractive rounded crown with a mass of small aromatic leaves. They provide good shade in addition to flavoring possibilities.
