My neighbor went to Hawaii a couple months ago and all he brought me was some Koa wood. (nice neighbor)
He asked if I could make a couple of KEY-CHAINS out of it for him and his son. The rest of it is mine!!!!!!
I will be doing a turning or 2 from the rest.
Here are the key-chains I made.
Both are about 5 inch long and 1 1/2 wide. Sanded and buffed with the Beal buffing system. Final finish is Carnuba wax.
Thanks for looking and please leave all comments.

How about that!! This just came in and said you posted it two minutes ago. So it looks like the Dawg get’s first crack at a response. 5”’s now come on how are they going to be able to surf on something that small.
Just pickin on you. Another great job and another great gift of friendship.

Hi Dan,
Beautiful job on the key chains. How fitting to be surfboards!!
That koa is very pretty wood but be careful not to run it through your jointer or planer. I had koa flooring that I had to joint and plane and it has inclusions in it and it took out the knives on both machines like right now.
Have a good one,buddy!.................Jim

Looks nice I have a bunch of that for pens and your boards have some nice curl going for them. Love to see what your turnings come out like.

Cool little surfboards. I was admiring some key chain surfboards that Ken90712 made and he mentioned your so I had to come take a look. I was thinking about making a mini surfboard as a gift for a friend not long ago. I want to make one a little bigger, I want it to have at least one fin. Of coarse I have no idea how I’ll make the fin stay on the board.
