Koa Wood Paddles and Hawaiian Islands I have always wanted a koa wood paddle someday. The price goes up every year, so I finally bought one: 40% less than the market price at Kalai Koa Woods, the workshop of Greg Eaves, a koa wood craftsman with a 30-year career. His great-grandfather created the koa wood staircase for Iolani Palace, and from there his grandfather, father, and himself have passed on the craftsmanship in this way. I fell in love with the koa Hawaiian Islands wall hanging, which is modeled after the eight Hawaiian Islands, and acquired this one as well. Many Hawaiians have koa-made furniture in their homes, and koa wood has a unique presence in a room that makes the space inviting. I think this purchase made my heart flutter every time I see it every day. His pieces are also available at Martin McArthur, a well-known Koa Wood store.
Sohali Living cushion covers Sohali Living is a popular general store among tourists and locals alike. The store is filled with items that are uniquely Hawaiian, and the designs and colors are natural, so they blend in with the room. My favorite item is a sofa cover with a message designed on it, and every time I see it, I say, “Yes, that’s right,” and it soothes me, so I buy more every time they have a sale.
