** LIMITED QUANTITIES ** Koa wood continues to live up to its high reputation as one of the world’s most sought after woods. Koa has been linked to Hawaiian Royalty as the choice of wood to fashion the palace furniture; it is the material used to shape canoes that embark on journeys throughout the Pacific Ocean; and koa accents are used even today in conducting prestigious formal services such as ground-breaking ceremonies and blessings. This esteemed piece was purposely made in a simple design to show off the beauty of the wood’s grain and craftsmanship. Lifting the handle on the tastefully hidden dowel hinged cover reveals a velvet covered bottom.
