The Hawaii Wood Guild will host its 31st Invitational Masters Show beginning Saturday through Feb. 24 at the Isaacs Art Center in Waimea.

There are 20 invited artists participating with 58 pieces on display and for sale.

The gallery is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.

“These are the finest wood artisans on the Island showing their creative expression with excellent craftsmanship,” said guild member Marcus Castaing, whose curly koa and milo wood contemporary Morris chair was named Best of Show 2016.

Visitors to the gallery can submit votes for the Peoples Choice Award. The winner will be announced at the end of the show on the Hawaii Wood Guild’s Facebook page.

On Saturdays, visitors can “Meet the Artists,” with several present to answer questions about the pieces and woodworking.

“We invited everyone to come and enjoy the wonderful pieces that our local craftsman have created over their 20 to 40 years tenure in this profession,” Castaing said.

The center is located at 65-1268 Kawaihae Road. Admission is free.
