Koa Display Case
Curly Koa, European Beech, Wenge, Camphor and assorted woods in marquetry inlay. Hawaiian Koa is a cherished grained hardwood grown only in the Hawaiian Islands. It is prized for its beauty, rarity and high quality.
There are two drawers behind the left hand sliding door. The drawers have the option to be used as file drawers or for storage. Behind the right hand sliding door is an adjustable shelf.
​
There is a remote control light w/ dimmer in the center section of the lower cabinet. There are three Curly Koa faced drawers with handles. The Koa on the drawer faces came from a Koa tree in Honolulu that was dying. The drawer boxes are made of Aromatic Camphor wood.
​
The marquetry inlay is of the Nuku'puu, a rare, if not extinct, Hawaiian Honeycreeper and the Koa tree branches which it feeds on. All of the woods in the marquetry are natural colors, not dyed.
The Wenge detail blocks are faceted and hand carved.
​
Dimensions: 72 in. lg. x 94 in. ht. x 17 in. deep.
This can fit into a house with an 8 ft ceiling height.

The bookcase can be taken apart and moved in two pieces, the upper cabinet and the lower cabinet, allowing it to be crated and shipped anywhere.

About Marquetry
​
Marquetry — a meticulous art in which tiny pieces of wood are inlaid to create intricate imagery — is a signature of Shaun’s work.
Depictions of native Hawai'ian birds, flowers, and sea life add a distinct embellishment with the use of exotic woods such as koa, mango, wenge, walnut, and mahogany.
