Contemporary Hawaii Woodworkers by Tiffany DeEtte Shafto and Lynda McDaniel

Contemporary Hawaii Woodworkers profiles 36 Hawaiian woodworkers including furniture makers, sculptors and wood turners. These woodworkers share their inspirations, insights and techniques and the book is full of photos of their creations.

Nudi writes: As a self tought furniture maker I use many books for techniques and inspiration, Taunton books make up most of my reference library. Cultural definitions and interpetations of furniturecan be truly facinating.

bung writes: While on Maui I met a Samoan man who lived there and had about six chisels, a broken stone for sharpening,and turned out beautiful work from Koa wood. It left in indelible print in my mind and I returned to my carving nook with a greater enthusiasm for the joy of carving.Please enter me for this wonderful looking book. Thank you.
