Now I get to finish all these

[Kalai]

This is a few hundred Koa bowls that are now dry and ready to be finished, then I start all over again and make more bowls and let them dry and so on and so on, but I never get dizzy from all this turning Aloha to all.

Yeah, does it?

 

[Kalai]

In my neck of the woods I need to use a Kiln to dry my wood but I live on the Big Island, I can drive to the Kau Desert and it is very dry there, or I can go the the hot lava to warm up when it gets cold, and it does get cold, there was recently a man that was lost in a blizard here and they still have not found him, yes we have snow on our 2 highest mountains, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. I love the Big Island of Hawaii. Aloha to all.

I am going to bust you on this. I thought you turned a bowl at my house at last years turners gathering, or was that your brother?

Kalai - That is quite a stack of bowl.

Chris,

I loved your Norfolk Pine "Creations" and know that your Kona bowls will be just as impressive. Are your works in any of the Big Island galleries? I will be there (both Hilo and Kona) in January.

Hi Mark, yes I know of the Dog, he lives on the Island of Oahu, his son Leeland lives here on the Big Island in Kona, I have seen them a few times when they were over here.

Hay Randy I hope you stop by and see me if you have time, I have my work in the Honolulu Acadamy of Arts, and at Dan Deluz Woods, the rest goes on my website and to private collectors who order my bowls. Aloha.

[Ligget]

Did anyone else notice that Chris needs a truck to haul his work around. Dang, he is one very busy turner!

 

[johncrane]

Hey Chris love too see some finished work.[]

 

[alxe24]

Wow that is pretty impressive. Beatiful.

 

[workinforwood]

Wow...that's alot of bowls! Be sure and take a break and check your emails.

 

[louisbry]

Nice lineup. Love to see some of them when you finish turning.

 

[Kalai]

Hi everyone, ya I will be busy for a while but not to long, I hope
sometimes I think I do not get some emails so email me as many times as needed, I respond to all emails.
I will also post some pictures of the finished bowls when I am done, also remember I offer free bowl turning lessons to any IAP member who comes to the Big Island and even if you dont want to turn a bowl stop by anyway and I will make sure you go home with some Hawaiian wood, aloha and Mele kaliki maka.
