Aloha, I have been tossing an idea around in my head. I need some help in design, layout and cutting a frame here on Big Island Hawaii. I have attended the Heartwood School Intro to TF (3 YRS ago) and am currently working as a Finish Carpenter in a high-end resort community. Most of my life I was a car mechanic in Detroit.
I have several large trees ready to be given new life in our home. Tree species include Ohia Lehua, Silver Oak-Grevillia Robusta-, Mango, Cypress, Ironwood, Norfolk Pine and several Eucalyptus species (Grandis, Robusta, Deglupta, Citradora, Pinicultata). I would like to scribe some of these large Ohias as posts and build a 38' x 24' home on our 5 acres.
Are there any TF's who have a hankering for a visit to Hawaii? And maybe do some TF work while here. I am exploring this idea of a workshare, live here, use of car, some trips to secret amazing places ie: Volcano, Whale watching, Palm trees & drinking, Surfing, Swimming, drinking, Massage, music making...14,000' mountain w/snow capped peaks...working with Bamboo (Guadua).... ideas thoughts?? This is my first exploration of this, but it just seems like I needed to put it out there. If there is great interest, maybe it can become a TFG Workshop? Thanks, Bobby G
