This is a very pretty acorn shaped box made out of Curly Koa (Acacia koa) with Kou (Cordia subcordata) cap. This acorn spells "Hawaii". A combination of two Hawaiian treasured timbers: lustrous Koa and dark Kou. Endemic to Hawaii, Koa is the wood that sparkle, specially with the curly figure like this one. It is not only shine, but the depth is also amazing.  The wood is highly sought after for carving, furniture and musical instrument. "Koa" means brave, bold, fearless, or warrior, it is surely a bold looking timber from a beautiful land! The large orange flower of Kou is often used to make leis (expensive!). The wood was utilized in various ways by the early Hawaiian. It is now a rare timber.
