Titanium Ring Inlay Material: Koa Wood

March 23rd, 2009
Comments Off

Koa is one of the most important woods in Hawaii. Endemic to the Hawaiian Islands, Koa wood has historically been used for a wide range of uses, including bowls, spears, paddles and canoes. The wood is now commonly used for furniture, cabinetry, bowls, sculptures, musical instruments and jewelry.
Koa wood inlays rings are some of our most popular rings at the Titanium Ring Shop.

Grown at fairly high elevations—300’ to 7,500’—Koa wood grows well on all the Hawaiian Islands. The best conditions exist, however, in the deep volcanic soils on the “newer” islands—Maui and Hawaii Island (the Big Island). All of the Koa wood used by the Titanium Ring Shop is sustainably harvested.

Koa wood ranges from light brown to a deep browns. Each wood is unique, so the Titanium Ring Shop artisans take great care in selecting the finest Koa wood available and using techniques that have been developed in over 15 years of working with wood inlays.
