Don’t’ miss it – April 1 – 15 – Hawai‘i Academy of Arts – Honolulu
Museum of Art School (corner of Beretania and Victoria Street – just mauka of
Blaisdell Center.)
Na La‘au o Hawai‘i is Hawai‘i Forest Industry Association’s (HFIA)
annual juried woodworking exhibition, which is typically held at the beautiful
Honolulu Academy of Arts Center.
Attendees to Hawai‘i’s Woodshow are treated to extraordinary
heirloom-quality works made from Koa, Mango, Kamani, Milo, Norfolk pine,
macadamia nut, Kiawe and other interesting and beautiful Hawai‘i-grown woods.
It promotes the positive role forests play in our economy and ecology.
The Show calls for the use of wood from Hawaiian-grown tree species,
especially those that have been planted and brought to maturity here in
Hawai‘i.
Awards typically include: Career Recognition Award, as many as five
First Place awards in various categories, Honorable Mentions, Skolmen Award,
Kent Award, Artist’s Choice Award and People’s Choice Award.
I put a couple quick videos of the display area of the Woodshow on
YouTube, one is the overall display room (about 1½ minutes;) the other, a quick
look at the bowls (about 30 seconds.)
But, you really need to come down them and see them. There are some waaay cool things there.
