Working as a woodworking hobbyist for the past 25 years, Ron Finelli, now retired in Hawaii from a career in education, has the time to create custom furniture and cabinets. Ron currently works almost exclusively in tropical woods, especially mango and koa. He designs and fashions his projects with both an artistic and practical eye. Due to having only a one man shop, Ron only takes on those projects which pique his creative interests and time schedule. Below are some samples of Ron's work with pricing, but each new project will be quoted individually. Other than Big Island customers must also calculate crating and shipping expenses, which can run in the hundreds of dollars depending on the size of the project and its final destination.
