What a beautiful job they did to construct this table. When we went into there showroom this table hit us and we wanted it. It was fairly priced and they give you free delivery. When they delivered it, the 3 men (table too very heavy) were very careful not to damage anything. Very happy with the product and the service.

Kini makes custom and gorgeous items to fit any space! He created custom cabinets for a space we wanted extra storage and they ended up the perfect height to bring everything on top to eye level. He is kind and easy going, every item is filled with intention and beauty.

LOVE our table. We found Kini from his store front in Kailua, but the big show room is in Waimanalo. The Waimanalo shop has a few lime green signs to point you in the right direction, but is mostly secluded from curb view. Kini was great with entertaining our toddler while we picked the perfect coffee table for us. Kini let our little boy see the horses, which was an unexpected treat for the little guy. It was a very pleasant experience...we wouldn't consider buying tropical wood from anyone else.

Kini's a semi sweet salty dog Bostonian slinging wood back in Waimanalo. He was prompt in returning my call. And when I showed up looking for an outdoor logo/address plaque that would withstand Monoa Valley weathering for my commercial space he was helpful. (Appreciate meeting fellow East-Coasters).Took me for a ride of the golf cart; cause it was damn hot. Me and my not so little "Toto" 55lbs of canine jumped on the buggy toward the workshop and we chose the slab together. He gave me time to think about it by offering Kombucha! Around the way is Sky Kombucha facilities where you can pour yourself draft pints on the honor system. He got my raw slab sanded while we waited and enjoyed the scenery. Top notch service. Sassy man. Great quality wood plus much more. I was only looking a for a small slab and this was the place to get it. I was sent around town by my graphics people; who will end up engraving. They referred me to places like Pacific American Lumber, but that spot is massive and not really appropriate for these smaller kine projects. Needless to say though, there is some amazing local wood furniture to be found here. Plenty of selection and ability for customization.Mahalo Kini!(I'll update later with finished product)

Thru friends' recommendations I found this hole in the wall of a place. Kini is a super friendly guy who helped me find what I asked for and showed me many beautiful pieces at his showrooms. I picked out an eight feet long dining table with blue resins displaying sea shells, sand, and hand carved turtle and a shark....what a gorgeous piece, it definitely reminds me of the good ole beach times in Hawaii. My kids were definitely thrilled and remarked how pretty table is and remain fascinated with all the sea life and beach decors in the blue resins.I absolutely Iove the blue wave mirror i picked out at a whim, I can envision us looking at it everyday to check our hairs just before we head out of the house and it beams back our big smiles.I also picked out a card/tea table with matching chairs. Another piece to be treasured by our family for decades to come. Thanks to Kini, we are taking lots of fond memories with us in these gorgeous furnitures! Hawaii will always be in our hearts and in our home!

We purchased our table at the end of time in Hawaii. Kini gave us a tour of his operation from start to finish. Really cool to see all the hard work and detail that goes into their products. We were able to pick out a monkey pod slab that was cut but unfinished. Kini had it made and finished in time for our movers to pick up before shipping to the mainland. He made two custom benches for one side of our table since it has a unique shape to it. We cannot wait to get it into our new house on the mainland! We will update with pictures when we get it set up.We looked at a couple other places but settled on Wood Working Hawaii because of the selection, locally made and sourced, and the quality. In a great location with views and horses for the kids to feed.This is one of those places that you should visit just to look around at the artwork and furniture and see how it is made!

Kini made a gorgeous coffee table for us from a thick slab of koa wood that we chose in his showroom. He delivered it in very short time and it looks perfect! Wonderful shiny piece of wood like a piece of art in our living room. Definitively worth the price. We are looking forward to buying more items from him.

Are you looking to have custom furniture made, well keep looking as this isn't the place for it. So I had ordered a custom made desk and paid exactly 8,376.80 and informed it would be a 1-2 month build period which was completely understandable but it was delivered 4 months later. It was supposed to be a large L shaped desk with a 2 inch thick slab for the top and a corner shelf on top and bottom for electronics or what ever I want to put on it. So after about 3 months of waiting (and helping him fix both his fork lifts, a back hoe, and other things as a discount towards future items...but he did pay me for my services a couple months later) my desk shows up with his employees. And let me tell you, while the top slab looks good...not great...but good, the top shelf didn't sit flat and rocked back and forth there are some huge ugly lag bolts visible on the sides of the 2 inch thick slab legs. The under side supports block half of one of the slots I wanted for my monitor stands and the general value of the desk is worth no where near the 8k+ that I paid. (No worries though I got a free wooden paddle with this purchase so that must make up for it) Upon watching his employees assembly it at my house, I'm also not confident I will be able to move it in the future and reassemble it without having to get new hardware to secure the legs and all with as the holes they go into probably won't survive another round of the massive lag bolts being reused due to power tools during installation. I was planning to get an entire house set, like dining room table, bed room set, coffee table, media center and end tables, but now I think my money will be better spent on Ikea furniture where I at least already understand what to expect when I get it home.

Awesome shop in Kailua. The owner Kini worked with me to create a custom surfboard coffee table for my living room. Great shop, great customer service, and the end product came out amazing.
