Koa Overview

LATIN: ACACIA KOA  ORIGIN: HAWAII

Koa, native to Hawaii, is a medium-density hardwood renowned for its warm golden to reddish-brown tones and striking figure, often featuring curly or wavy grain patterns caused by irregular growth. Lightweight yet strong, koa is easy to work with, machines well, and responds beautifully to sanding and polishing, achieving a natural glow that enhances its visual appeal. It is highly prized for musical instruments, particularly guitars and ukuleles, as well as fine furniture, turned objects, decorative inlays, and high-end woodworking projects. Koa’s combination of beauty, versatility, and tonal quality makes it a favorite among woodworkers and luthiers alike.
