Rob Woodward
Rob enjoys many diverse types and styles of turning but his main love is the Hawaiian Calabash in its many forms. He mainly works with locally grow woods and loves working with Acacia Koa, which along with Milo and Kou are indigenous to Hawaii. Rob enjoys letting the figural nature of the raw wood inspire him in creating many of his vessels. Another of his loves is creating a bowl from a board or laminated bowl.
