A very beautiful box with a great look. I was lucky to get some KOA baseboards off a friend in Hawaii but there is no supply in this part of the World…you are VERY lucky as it is a protected species in Hawaii….cheers and thanks for the inspiration!

You can get Koa from luthier suppliers, but it is crazy expensive! I didn’t realize it was a protected species

That is a beautiful box. I have a Koa ukulele. It is wonderful wood.

Very nice mix. Did you make the inlay yourself? (or is that thin sheets that go across the box?

Maybe an interior shot next time? I’d like to see more!

what kind of hinges are those? are they on the inside?

beautiful box!
