By the age of 16, Ron Tosh was building furniture with his own design. While living in California, he studied and worked as a graphic artist and designer. In 1979, he moved to Hawai’i with his wife, both working in the world of graphics. Retiring from the trade, he took a wood-turning class and immediately bought his own lathe. With his strong graphic background, he loves creating works of art from the tree logs, knurled and burled pieces and wood that was fireplace bound.
“My appreciation for wood’s natural beauty began at an early age. My father and uncle were contractors and at an early age I learned the many phases of the building trade and began a true connection with wood.”
Ron Tosh is a member of the Honolulu Woodturner’s Club, an affiliate of the American Association of Wood-Turners and a member of the Hawai’i Forest Industry Association.
