Aloha Uncle Malu,

On behalf of Bree, her ohana and myself we want you to know that a tradition has initiated in our ohana. Your work is "superb" .... the beauty in the wood is brought out. Your hands perfected a "flaw" and one can only see the beauty.

Mahalo nui loa for sharing this skilled talent with us. I appreciate your sweetheart for allowing you the "time" to engage in this art.
