Our Privacy Policy can be found HERE.
Where is your physical store located?
We have two brick and mortar retail shops, one is located on the Big Island in the historic town of Kailua-Kona. The other is located in Waikiki, at the International Market Place.
Where does the Koa you use come from?
Most of our products are made from Koa harvested on our ranch as part of the conservation efforts to bring back the forest. In some cases, we can't prepare the wood in the proper form needed to produce certain products (e.g. watches), so we source the wood in the form we need from neighboring providers. All Koa wood is Hawaii sourced and taken from dead or fallen trees.

How do I care for my Koa wood bowl or Koa wood Hawaiian art piece?
Caring for your wood bowl or handcraft Koa wood Hawaiian art piece is relatively easy. Use a dry cloth to dust. Periodically you should polish with beeswax (available at most hardware stores including Lowes and Home Depot) to revive the shine and more importantly keep the wood from drying out. I usually polish my wood products annually (more so if you live in a hot dry climate zone.)
You do not want to introduce water or moisture to your wood piece. Do NOT place in the dishwasher. If you're caring for a wine stopper, remember to screw off the top and wash the chrome plug separately. Wine stem glasses should be hand washed and you should avoid wetting the stem.
