Koa Calabashes Auction Estate sale
- Thread starter Emiliano Achaval
- Start date
I read couple descriptions....no mention of patches but very proud$....nice wood....good shapes.....do these go to tourons or general population of 50th state?????
Size matters
Emiliano, is Robert W. Butts a renowned turner or are the bowls going for high price based on size alone?
Charlie,I believe anybody can bid, you have to register. But, I can sell you something like it, lol. Aloha
He was a well known turner from the Ron Kent days, he was known for big Calabashes, Oahu had a great collectors market then. Work sold for big money, Ron had the record at one time for the highest price paid for a turned piece.
Tks, I'm a fan of estate auctions but on down low.....only 1 signed piece....beside my stuff.
I was told today that Mr Butts still active. I have not met him. I do not remember seeing him at the last Honolulu Woodturners symposium.
