You can find our work in residences, hotels, churches, boutique stores and restaurants throughout the island.

At Kieselbach Woodworks you will find the finest quality work, pride in workmanship and exceptional customer satisfaction.

“Aina” the land, the source, home. Living in these soulful islands, I feel a spiritual bond at the core of my being with the aina, and this is the source of my inspiration in sculpture. To me, sculpture should have a sense of the undefined and the infinite. It should speak a language of touch and sight that reaches the subconscious in ways words cannot. I believe that the level of my creative intent can also imbue the work with spiritual energy, or “Mana” as it is called in Hawaiian, and this energy directly effects the viewer. The work must be dynamic in these ways and at the same time, reveal a sense of harmony and balance.

Carpenter Woodworker

Hawaii’s original titanium and Koa wood jewelry. Since 2004, we have been combining two of nature’s finest materials: Hawaiian Koa wood, traditionally used by ancient Hawaiians to make some of the first surfboards; and titanium, one of the earth’s most abundant eco-friendly metals. The resulting wood jewelry is extremely light, comfortable, non-allergenic, eco-friendly and water resistant.

With a donation towards environmental initiatives from each sale, Komo Koa aims to build an alliance of customers and non profit organizations working towards the common goal of healthier forest and aquatic ecosystems in Hawaii.
