Kolohala Container
Small lift-top box made from two Hawaiian woods, kolohala, aka pheasantwood (Cassia siamea) and trimmed with milo (thespesia populnea). Kolohala was brought to the Islands from Asia in the 1800s. This material is not easy to find and is noteworthy for its unusual grain. Box is lined with camphor and finished with Ultrasuede.

For City Lights I4.8Timothy Lydgate is a fantastic wood worker. His efforts to work with me when the post office made a mistake they wouldn't rectify were also greatly appreciated. If you want some wood art you can't go wrong picking Timothy Lydgate.

For Mason's Ring Box5.0Tim was an absolute pleasure to work with on my project. He went above and beyond to help me turn a drawing that I made into a physical object that I know I will treasure for years and generations to come. He is so knowledgable on his craft, so do not be afraid if you aren't aware of how wood and other materials work (I surely wasn't). I couldn't recommend him more. Worth every penny and more. Look no further!!!
