Leonard Guidroz has spent over five decades honing his craft as a woodworker here in Hawai’i. It all began back in the 1960’s when he moved to these beautiful islands to chase his passion for surfing. Little did he know it would also lead him down the path of woodworking. Over the years, the artist has become deeply connected to the local woods, as well as wood from around the world, finding inspiration in their natural beauty and unique characteristics. Each piece of wood tells its own story, and he strives to bring out its inherent qualities in his work.
