Our magnificent pin hinge solid koa box is handmade in Hawaii with the lid decorated with the petroglyph symbol of the Honu, or sea turtle. It is known that to spot a honu, or green sea turtle, while swimming will bring good luck! Koa wood, referred to as “Hawaiian mahogany,” is perhaps the most valuable lumber tree in Hawaii. Its simple design shows off the grain and allure of the koa wood. For centuries this exclusive wood was prized by Hawaiian Kings and Queens, for making surfboards, canoes and furniture. A rare and coveted commodity, this box made of koa wood is a valuable and beautiful piece to cherish for years to come.
