Lee Porter works with koa wood he has collected over the past 70 years. Born and raised in Hawaii, Lee creates these rare koa boxes for collectors using only the finest wood.
“While visiting Honolulu, we fell in love with and purchased a gorgeous handmade koa box by local artisan Lee Porter. His attention to the smallest details — from the interior compartments to the meticulous trim — has made this a cherished piece of art in our home. We look forward to our next trip and to bringing another remembrance of Hawaii home with us. Mahalo, Lee!”

“The box Lee created is gorgeous and is the centerpiece on our coffee table. In it we’ve stored favorite memories — a concert ticket stub, my first love note, a cocktail umbrella, the key to my first home, my grandmothers engagement band and other mementos. It’s a display-worthy work of art, and every time I open it, the treasures inside transport me back in time to special moments.”
