Koa Lumber for Sale
Wood Vendors supplies only the finest Koa Lumber from the Hawaiian Islands. Koa hardwood has limited availability, consequently it is expensive in relation to other hardwoods. It has a very unique appearance coveted by ukulele and guitar makers. The only thing consistent in the appearance of koa is that it is completely inconsistent. Koa boards can be very colorful and full of figure (curly) or not. Curly koa is highly sought after and can cost several times the cost of plain koa wood.
At Wood Vendors we only sell hardwoods, so we are able to focus strictly on your lumber needs. We bring many years of exotic hardwood lumber supply experience to your every koa inquiry. Although it is possible to buy hardwood directly on our site, we encourage anyone wishing to buy koa hardwood lumber to give us a call at 877-983-6367 to discuss your particular needs.
