Koa is endemic to Hawai`i. The primary attribute of Hawaiian Koa (Acacia koa) is quality, and is highly valued as a craft wood because of its stability and ability to take a high polish. It is considered one of the world's most beautiful and rare tropical hard woods and is controlled and protected in Hawai`i. Koa remains one of the premiere Hawaiian timber for furniture, art, and many other uses, including our bowls and earrings.
Curly Koa wood is considered the most rare because it is found in one out of a hundred trees and is found in high end wood products. We are fortunate to be able to still offer a choice of Curly and Natural Grain koa at extremely affordable prices. Whether you order Natural Grain or Curly Koa, the end product is unmatched in beauty and style.
