Aloha!
I create one-of-a-kind lathe art from native Hawaiian woods, primarily windfall Koa from Haleakalā, as well as other fine woods.

From my studio in Upcountry Maui, I craft calabashes, salad bowls, lidded boxes, hollow forms, urns, and custom pieces

You can shop finished pieces online or contact me for a custom order. Visitors are welcome by appointment.
