Tom’s interest in Fine Woodwork reaches back over forty years, the past 23 years on the Big Island of Hawaii where he has been introduced to some of the most beautiful woods in the world, species like Milo, Kamani, Koa, Mango , Norfolk and Cook Island Pine. Having already been a woodturner before moving to Hawaii he was naturally drawn to the active woodturning community and has become a member of the West Hawaii Woodturners the Local Chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW). Seeing such beautiful works of traditional Hawaiian shapes like Calabash, Urns and Bowls is true inspiration.
