Description

This keepsake box was handcrafted in Kona, Hawaii by Richard Farnham. Every Keepsake Box is a one-of-a-kind piece of art, crafted from native Hawaiian hardwoods and colored resins.


Your board fashioned from KOA, a rich, tight grained hardwood, now rare in Hawaii, once favored to construct canoes, containers, artworks, hand pieces, and weapons. Your box was crafted using only Koa scraps and cut-offs, so expect some imperfections.


Dimensions: 11" (L) x 6" (W) x 2" (H)


Donated by Richard Farnham.
