Congratulations Phil!

We posted a couple of photographs of Phil's new wood art in January.  Since then, he has been down in his spacious wood shop almost every day working.

Today he is taking ten pieces down to One Gallery, located on the bay front in Old Town Hilo.  One Gallery just moved from their location on Kilauea Street into a wonderful new space on Kamehameha Avenue near great shopping, museums and dining.  

We visited One Gallery on our trips in 2011 and 2012 and felt it would be a good place to show art.  Phil will also be doing gallery duty four hours a week, which he will thoroughly enjoy (without having to think about paying the bills, meeting payroll, or all the other duties associated with being a gallery owner.)

Pictured here are two directions he has been developing -- one a series of characters using wood scraps, and the other he is calling his "Volcano Moon" series.

In addition to these art pieces, he is also making clocks and weather stations using koa and other Hawaiian hardwoods.
