davidd's A DOLL A DAY 2023

[davidd]

My little Kanaloa is "hapa-wood"....

If I recall correctly, when I asked the carvers what wood they were working with, the answers were usually hau, milo, or ōhia (monkeypod). I suspect the carvings I have are milo, since they became so dark after staining. Hau tends to be lighter in color... although not always. Monkeypod often, but not always, has a variety of shades in the grain.
