Found only on the Hawaiian Islands, this species offers a wide range of color within each log.  Mixtures of reds, browns, dark veins, lighter sap rings – all add to the amazing visual it offers.

Some logs develop figure and some don’t.  Yet the look of the veneer still has a kind of iridescence to it regardless.  We have seen older examples of logs which were flat sliced, but generally what you find on the market today is quartered veneer.
