Pono Woodworks is a design and woodworking studio based out of Honolulu, HI. We might be slightly biased, but we carve out the most amazing wood accessories available using our Koa wood from the Big Island of Hawaii. We scour the island to find the best "curly" grained Koa, which is the most beautiful and rare. The curly grain creates "tiger-stripe" patterns in the wood that reflects the light and causes the grain to look like it moves. Koa is protected due to its cultural significance and rarity so we only use Koa that comes from dead or dying trees on private land. Koa has long been the cultural anchor of Hawaii. In the old days, Koa was reserved for Hawaiian Royalty and was used to make the first surfboards, outrigger canoes, Hawaiian weaponry, and ukuleles. Essentially, Koa was/is at the historical heart of everything that we love about this amazing place called Hawaii.We've got to thank Mother Nature for these remarkable wooden phone cases. Sure we've been busy sanding, polishing and cutting, but She's spent decades growing the Koa trees in the higher elevations of Hawaii island. The result of our combined efforts is a one of a kind, handmade wooden phone case that literally brings a bit of the islands home to you.The cases are a combination of hard plastic backer and soft TPU sides which will bounce when dropped...we don't recommend testing that although we're pretty sure you'll find out eventually. All this work to create a one of a kind reminder of where you'd rather be...on a beach in Hawaii of course. The Islands are calling
