An extraordinary gift of exquisite bowls by one of Hawaiʻi<\/span>‘s outstanding wood-turners and master craftsmen are on display at the William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a> library at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

John Dean, banker and entrepreneur, and the Estate of William K. Richardson gave the collection of 59 bowls crafted by the late Dan DeLuz of Hawaiʻi<\/span> Island to the law school in memory of William “Billy” K. Richardson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Billy Richardson was interim director of the 糖心视频<\/abbr> Office of Technology Transfer and Economic Development<\/a> and son of law school founder and namesake Chief Justice William S. Richardson<\/strong>, who was a good friend and business colleague of Dean.<\/p>\n

Lea Hong, Billy Richardson’s widow, said the gift was contemplated before her husband’s death last November.<\/p>\n

Said Dean, “I have ‘turned’ bowls in my day so I have a great respect for the craftsmanship that goes into them. Billy and I talked about someday giving the bowls to an institution where they could be shared with the broader public. We wanted to share DeLuz’s work; he was a gifted man. At the law school library<\/a>, his work now honors both Billy and CJ<\/abbr>, his father.”<\/p>\n

The beautiful DeLuz bowls were made over many years from a remarkable range of woods such as lychee, koa, mango, sandalwood and ʻōhiʻa<\/span>. A portion of the collection was formerly on display at Dean’s downtown office when he was CEO<\/abbr> of Central Pacific Bank.<\/p>\n

“We are extremely fortunate to be the recipient of these amazing gifts,” said Victoria Szymczak<\/strong><\/a>, associate professor and law library director. “The magnificent bowls fit beautifully with the attractive look of our recently renovated law library.”<\/p>\n
