Abstract
Description
Booklet about Robert M. Hamada's woodwork. Mainly illustrations.
"With an artistic career that has spanned over sixty-eight years, this master woodturner's signature style comes through in each creation. The pieces are of grand scale, thin as porcelain China and baby skin smooth. Most have a circular grooved indentation in the center and are strategically balanced on a continuous foot. As people admire the cool fluid and glassy surface of his works on display, Hamada baffles everyone by proclaiming, 'all my pieces are unfinished'"--From the Milo of Pua Loke.
Contents:
The Milo of Pua Loke -- Recognizing Hamada -- Kahuna lapa`au -- Symmetrical vessels -- Free form vessels -- Continuing education -- Hamada's choices in wood -- Noteworthy.
