This gift has been beautifully handcrafted with Hawaiian “Koa” wood, selected from the highest quality of native koa hardwoods found only on the islands of the South Pacific. “Koa” is characterized by its lustrous grain and rich color, is found nowhere else in the world and is in limited supply. “Koa” wood is prized for its aesthetic value and was traditionally used for furnishings and interiors of the palaces of Hawaiian Royalty. When you are given a gift of “Koa,” you are given the best!
