| Earle F. LONG WOODturner
Earle Long, a retired metal fabrication manufacturer from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, moved to Hauula, Hawaii, in the late 1980s.
Impressed with beautiful grain patterns in local woods, he found that woodturning satisfied his need to produce items that are both good looking and serve a useful purpose.
He started by making bud vases and small bowls; eventually, he became proficient at creating unique designs in lamp bases and bowls.
He makes artistic pieces from chunks of local woods such as milo, Norfolk Island pine, mango, kamani, koa, and has recently begun working with rubber tree, ohia, coconut, and tamarind woods. He also combines recycled woods, which allows the turning to reveal unusual shapes in the finished product.
Mr. Long relishes the opportunity to turn a piece of wood into something that will “wow” his customers.
