Fala Authentic Pacific Woodwork uses three different types of wood found in the Hawaiian Islands.

Koa Native to the Hawaiian Islands, and prized for its historic and cultural significance. The heartwood is golden reddish to dark brown with streaks of darker tones of brown and black. The grain is interlocked, sometimes wavy and curly, producing fiddleback figure. The polished surface is lustrous, almost as a "hologram", especially in incandescent lighting. The wood is durable and stable, resistant toinsect and fungal attack. The world-famous Hawaiian ukuleles are made of koa. It is also used for high-end cabinets and fine furniture, musical instruments, gunstocks, interior joinery, shop and bank interiors and highly decorative veneers. This is a rare tropical hardwood, mainly growing on the upper slopes of the islands of Hawaii (Big Island) and Maui.

Monkeypod A beautiful shade tree, introduced to Hawaii in 1847, with large trunk and very broad arched crown of dense foliage. Trees can achieve heights of 50-75 feet, with a relatively short trunk of 2-4 feet in diameter. Sapwood of the monkey pod is yellowish and the heartwood dark chocolate brown to golden brown with darker streaks. The wood is moderately hard, lightweight and fairly strong. Monkey pod is resistant to decay and drywood termites. The wood shrinks very little and takes a finish beautifully, thus making great looking furniture and bowls.

Milo The milo tree is a small to medium-sized tree, growing to less than 40 feet high. The trunk can be 2 feet in diameter at full maturity. Milo is a member of the Mallow family, along with Hibiscus. It is indigenous to Hawaii, but is also found around the world in tropical climates. It was grown as a shade tree around houses and temples, as well as near the beach. Its flowers are yellow with purple centers that fade to pinkish later in the day.
