Aloha!

I started Hawaiian Koa and Exotic Wood Products & Hawaiian Koa Company because I needed the highest quality Hawaiian Koa for my own projects. I buy quantity of high quality Hawaiian Koa in bulk and share the savings with you. My wife and I hand make all of our specialty products to order out of the finest Hawaiian Koa in the Islands.

I ship Hawaiian Koa boards to your door via priority mail so no matter where you live you can work with one of the finest woods in the world. If you need something hand crafted, big or small, one piece or quantity, contact me, we even personalize with laser engraving.

Or if you live or visiting the Island, come check us out! (please make an appointment prior)
