Twenty woodworkers will be at Martin & MacArthur from 4 to 9 p.m. tomorrow at a book launch party for "Contemporary Hawaii Woodworkers: the Wood, the Art, The Aloha" by Tiffany DeEtte Shafto and Lynda McDaniel.

The book pays tribute to 36 of Hawai'i's master woodworkers — furniture makers, sculptors, turners and carvers, including the artisans who will be present at the launch, which also marks the beginning of a month-long exhibit and sale of work from woodworkers featured in the book.
