After reading another thread by someone who had visited Kona Hawaii and picked up some Koa it dawned on me that if any of you wood turners happen to visit I would be more than glad to supply information on local wood turners you might want to visit and if our club is having a meeting at the time visitors are welcome.
There are also some local wood shops and a sawmill where inexpensive cutoffs of Koa are avaliable.
Just drop me a line and I would be more than glad to supply information.
Aloha, Pete
