Josh knows the landscape of Hawaii better than most, and more so the forests, which famously contain the sought-after tonewood, Koa. Josh is the third generation in his family to continue harvesting and processing Hawaiian Koa, and subsequently he is one of the most knowledgable people to speak to about this amazing wood. Josh's responsibility is first and foremost to the trees and the lands in which they grow, and he very much feels a part of the environment in which he works. He ensures that he forms relationships with his buyers, so that he can take pleasure in seeing the wood he sells from forest floor to finished instrument.
