More than 1,300 visitors studied and voted for their favorite turning during Wailoa Center’s Big Island Woodturners 17th annual exhibit that concluded March 31.

The Woodturners voted for Doug Keown’s “Blues,” a vessel created with mahogany, inks and lacquer.
Visitors almost unanimously chose “Untitled,” a Norfolk pine bowl by Dennis Hakes, to receive the People’s Choice award.
This year’s awards were sponsored by HPM and Woodcraft. Mahalo to all who participated and attended this year’s exhibit.
