HAND CRAFTING YOUR NEXT FAVORITE ACCESSORY
HAWAII INFUSED DESIGNS... ALOHA DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR.
For over a decade, we have crafted the most amazing Koa wood infused accessories that capture the spirit of the Hawaiian Islands. We use only sustainably harvested "curly" grained Koa wood from the Big Island of Hawaii. Koa only grows in Hawaii and was once reserved for royalty. It was used for the first surfboards, warrior's weapons and the outrigger sailing canoes that explored the Pacific. Koa is a cultural anchor and it's that sense of exploration that we instill in our designs. Pono Woodworks is a design and woodworking studio located in Honolulu, HI.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pono Woodworks is a small design and woodworking studio in Honolulu, Hawaii. For over a decade we've hand-crafted Koa wood infused accessories — watches, rings, jewelry, wallets, knives, and phone cases — using sustainably harvested "curly" grained Koa from the Big Island. Koa only grows in Hawaii and was once reserved for royalty. It's a cultural anchor, and that sense of exploration is what we design into everything we make.
Most items ship from our fulfillment partner in North Carolina — they get orders out next business day, which saves a couple days over shipping from Hawaii. USPS standard usually takes 3-5 days, priority takes 2-3. If NC runs out of stock, I ship it from Honolulu, which adds 1-2 days. Phone cases are the exception — those are made-to-order in our Honolulu shop.
Yes — we ship to Canada and Japan. Rates and timing vary by country and calculate at checkout. International orders can take longer depending on customs and your local postal service.
No worries — we make exchanges painless. Head to the support section and let us know what you need with an "exchange order." We send a return label. Once your original is in the USPS system, we send the new one out. Free exchanges, always — we don't leave customers hanging.
We have the most liberal warranty and return policy I know of. Rings carry a lifetime warranty. Watches carry a 2-year no-hassle warranty. Something breaks 5 years past warranty? Hit us up anyway — I can usually get it working again. Small shop, personal responsibility — every case comes back to me and we make it right.
Best bet is Kimo, our AI chatbot in the corner — he's trained on all things Pono (and Tiki bars, apparently). If Kimo can't crack it, head to our support portal and we'll take care of you personally.

Here's a quick blurb about our design goals for all our Koa Wood Collections...
THE
Koa Watch Collection
The most beautiful Big Island Koa showcased within our island inspired watch designs. Our watches are equally capable of accompanying you surfing or just lounging in a hammock. It's Hawaiian Time, redefined.
THE
KOA JEWELRY COLLECTION
Simple designs to bring you back to the islands…or perhaps the islands to you. No airline ticket required.
THE
KOA PHONE CASE COLLECTION
Hand made in our small shop in Honolulu. Our Koa phone cases protect your phone on all sides and are drop tested and approved. We're like drunken sailors around the shop. The islands are calling.
THE
KOA RING COLLECTION
We started the Koa Tungsten ring trend and still make the best. It's all about the wood and we hand select our “curly” koa to ensure the grain sparkles in the light. We're so confident in our rings, we offer a lifetime warranty and guarantee you'll love it. Our guarantee might be industry leading but our rings are even better.
THE
KOA WALLET COLLECTION
Everything you need and nothing you don't. Our minimalist wallets are designed to showcase the beauty of the wood without adding unnecessary bulk. We love traveling light so our designs reflect that minimalist ideal.
THE
KOA KNIFE COLLECTION
Don't leave home without it. Our knife designs are inspired after the original Hawaiian weapons. Simple lines create an elegant shape that stands up to your daily abuse.
We've bent over backward to make it easy for you. We make a bunch and send them from Hawaii to our shipping peeps in North Carolina. They get it out next business day for the win!
