Wood Chuck Could Chuck Wood



Now that most of the 2013 projects are completed, and we have built a big roomy wood shop, Phil has returned in earnest to his passion for wood, exploring the many kinds of wood here on the Big Island.

The first one is visually self-explanatory, but the second one has a story associated with star navigation techniques used by the ancient Polynesian people on their ocean voyages, by canoe, that led them to discover many islands in the Pacific. The bird is the elegant white-tailed Tropic Bird.

Au i ke kai me he manu ala
(cross the sea as a bird)
