Introduction
We are the world’s largest Hawaiian Koa supplier.
We personally select logs on the Big Island of Hawaii and ship them to Japan. I (Winkler) have been based in Japan for over 25 years and process the lumber at our factory in Aichi Prefecture. This allows us to offer the best pricing domestically in Japan and export worldwide.
In addition, we carefully select and purchase logs and lumber in Japan, offering domestic species such as Japanese Tochi, Shira Kashi, and Kuri.
We also hand-select imported hardwoods such as Walnut, Purpleheart, Makassar Ebony, Rosewood, North American Big Leaf & Hard Maple, Spruce, Western Red Cedar, and many others, especially for the tonewood market.
While we offer free shipping on all items, if you win multiple auctions within a few days, we will combine shipments whenever possible to help reduce costs. After winning, please send us a message requesting combined shipping.
We continue to offer a wide variety of premium woods to customers in Japan and overseas, so please check out our listings!
