Mankomi Box
These days I'm experimenting with different blends of my three favorite Hawaiian woods - mango, koa and milo. This box features a beautiful mango lid panel displaying the blue, pink and yellow that distinguishes this interesting hardwood. the sides show a solid curl figure with the more traditional yellow coloring. Chocolately milo keeps the piece grounded and koa adds a little je ne sais quoi. The softer, near-bullnosed edges complement the piece's soft tones. Lined with aromatic cedar, singed and dated, and finished with Ultrasuede, it's a tad under 6" long.

Jul 14, 2021Tim 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!!!
