Kauai Island Gifts  copy right 2004 -2012

Aloha and welcome to Kauai Island Gifts. Here you will discover  award winning hand crafted sculptures and carvings using rare Hawaiian woods, all crafted on Kauai. After a great deal of research of Hawaii,  Polynesia, and Micronesia, the artist was intreged by ancient Hawaiian fishing hooks, Hawaiian weapons and other Hawaiian artifacts. The history of these hooks and weapons goes back many centuries and throughout this time they evolved into the Hawaiian pieces seen here.

Koa and other rare Hawaiian trees start out as living things. I always marvel at their growth and how they ultimately become something of beauty at the hands of island artists , a rebirth of sorts. The wood is taken from renewable sources, trees that are dead or dying and sometimes uprooted by storms. I work mostly with koa for its beauty, grain, color, curl and uniqueness.

Each piece is unique and numbered to ensure originality and authentisity and includes a biography of the author and a certificate of authentisity.

While you are on Kauai please contact me to visit my studio.
