The best handmade in Hawaii by a local family souviner you can get. We've purchased two items from them on separate trips to Oahu and they are always our first priority stop on our trip. Mahalo for all your hard work and dedication to your craft.

We've been a loyal customer since we first saw Soane and his family at the swap meat in 2009! Soane is simply the best when it comes to hand carvings! He does awesome work and is so creative. He always makes it look so easy... even when he's injured he still carves away and makes beauty. He comes from a long line (I think he's 4th generation) of hand carvers and it really does show in his work. Whenever we are in town we always stop by and visit since they are always at the swap meet! Check out their Facebook page for updates on location as the booth does move sometimes. You won't get a better hand carved authentic keepsake on the island!

I went to the swap meet and came across these amazing, talented, gracious people. I looked all over the island for something hand made and personalized to take home with me. I found it at a swap meet of all places. I got this incredible hand made bowl with a turtle, waves & flower carved on it. Then this beautiful talented woman carved Ohana and my 3 kids & my on it. I was able to watch her crave, I was truly honored to watch her work and see the gift God has given her come to life. I go to the island once or twice a year to visit family. Every year these amazing people I will look for so I can continue to collect their art. Truly amazing to have a piece of their art. Please yelpers help these amazing people prosper. Happy Yelping

This was the one thing I was looking forward to getting on my trip back to Oahu, with my kids names engraved, best souvenir we came back with! Very nice talented family

I absolutely love their artwork. They are super quick to respond to text messages. Very friendly in person. And their woodwork is amazingly genuine. A little pricey, but all good artwork is.

I had been looking for a personalized surf board and everywhere I looked was made with cheap wood and vinyl. I ran into this company at the swap meet and fell in love with not only their work but they passion they put into their work. They were so nice to talk to and my order was finished the next day (it was a big surfboard and very detailed) so I felt like that was fast. If anyone is looking for an amazing souvenir I highly suggest you visit them instead of buying the mass produced cheap stuff. You'll be supporting a local business and getting good quality work.
