We scour the island to find the best "curly" grained Koa, which is the most beautiful and rare. The curly grain creates "tiger-stripe" patterns in the wood that reflects the light and causes the grain to look like it moves. Koa is protected due to its cultural significance and rarity so we only use Koa that comes from dead or dying trees on private land. Koa has long been the cultural anchor of Hawaii. In the old days, Koa was reserved for Hawaiian Royalty and was used to make the first surfboards, outrigger canoes, Hawaiian weaponry, and ukuleles. Essentially, Koa was/is at the historical heart of everything that we love about this amazing place called Hawaii.
