Native to the Hawaiian Islands, Koa is renowned for its exceptional beauty and versatility.  The wood is characterized by a range of colors from golden amber to reddish-brown, often with darker streaks or bands. The grain pattern is typically straight, though it can occasionally display an attractive curly or wavy figure. This unique grain pattern contributes to its aesthetic appeal, making each piece of koa wood distinctive and visually striking.

Due to its popularity and limited availability, koa wood faces conservation challenges. Sustainable harvesting practices and reforestation efforts are increasingly important to ensure the long-term viability of koa wood as a natural resource. We are committed to sourcing koa wood responsibly, opting for salvaged or reclaimed wood to minimize environmental impact.

 Hawaiian mango wood, like its namesake fruit, carries a tropical allure and distinct characteristics that make it a sought-after material in woodworking and artisan crafts.  The wood showcases a range of colors, from pale golden hues to deeper reddish-browns, often with streaks of darker grain running through it. The grain pattern can vary widely, with some pieces displaying straight, fine grain, while others exhibit more pronounced figuring, such as curly or quilted patterns. This variability adds to the visual interest and uniqueness of each piece of mango wood. The surface may display natural imperfections, such as knots, burls, or mineral streaks, which further contribute to its rustic charm and character.  When finished, Hawaiian mango wood develops a warm, lustrous sheen that enhances its natural beauty and highlights the richness of its color and grain.

Monkeypod, also known as the Hawaiian rain tree, is known for its warm, golden-brown color, which can vary in tone from light to dark depending on factors such as age, growing conditions, and the specific part of the tree from which it is harvested.

The texture of monkey pod wood is usually medium to coarse, with a slightly open grain that gives it a natural, tactile appeal. Its surface may feature natural imperfections such as knots, swirls, or figuring, which contribute to its rustic charm and enhance its aesthetic appeal.  When finished, monkeypod wood develops a rich, lustrous sheen that highlights the natural beauty of its color and grain.
