Model #53ACurly Koa varies greatly in color from a golden yellow to an amber brown with deep brown streaks. This is the nature of the wood, and we stock both the light and dark Koa veneers for our humidors. If you are looking at a Curly Koa humidor, you may choose between the light or dark colors. For this reason, we show the two shades of Koa next to each other here on the A model page so that you can see the difference. Please note that we offer the same choices on all other Koa models, B, C, and D.
Koa grows only on the Hawaiian islands and mainly on the big island of Hawaii. It occurs from the sea level to the top of the volcanic mountains. It is from these high exposed elevations that the best figured curly or fiddle back wood is obtained or rather was obtained. All logging and stump removal has been banned in recent years due to limited amount of Koa available. Koa is excellent for musical instruments - especially guitars and ukuleles. We use Koa only in veneer form and only the best curly figure. Only standing dead or fallen trees are now available for sale and only 3-5% are figured. For this reason Koa is very difficult to obtain in lumber or veneer and is very expensive. Its golden tan color along with the flaming curl make this one of our most attractive handmade humidors.
