The Japanese Art of Ikebana became a favorite pastime for me several years ago and as a woodworker I enjoyed making Ikebana Vases and /or Ikebana Stands. Being fortunate enough to live in Hawaii I have been surrounded by beautiful wood and between the two loves I started making these Ikebana Vases.

This Ikebana stand is made from Locally grown(Hawaii) KOU wood,(Cordia Subcodata). Kou is thought to have been brought with Hawaiians to Hawaii as it was prized for its beauty and many practical uses such as canoe wood meat platters and maybe most importantly as (poi) Calabashes as it does not impart a resinous flavor to food such as Koa and other native woods.

This Kou Piece of wood varies from 12 inches long 5 1/2 to 3 1/2 inches across and 2 1/4 inches tall. It was cut flat to show off the Natural Edges of the Kou Wood and the varied Black, dark brown and contrasting light tan grain patterns of the wood. The Koa Vase comes with a 1 7/8 inch tapered pin frog made of brass with a black pewter finish. The Dried Eucalyptus Leaves of green and purple are used in this setting instead of fresh flowers to give you and idea of what kind of arrangements can be used. They are not included.

This piece was free formed by myself with the use of my bandsaw and orbital sanders to provide a natural piece of practical art used for flower arrangements. The Dark Blackish Brown Color contrasted with the white sap wood is the natural color of Hawaiian Kou and is finished with a Precatalyzed lacquer finish so it won't spot with spilled water.

It will be shipped by USPS Priority mail anywhere in the United States.

If you do not like the Ikebana Vase upon receipt you may return it for a no questions asked refund of your purchase price upon return of vase with shipping paid by you.


The Flowers in the pictures are not included in the sale as I'm sure you can find much better flowers in your yard.



Feel free to ask any and all questions you have about the product or Ikebana woodworking in general.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't you ship outside of the USA ?

I will consider and have shipped to other Countries but only after we agree on prices and shipping. This must be done through the Convo system here on Etsy and is not available for all items due to the weight and shipping restrictions on some of my items.

I will however ship to friends or relatives of customers who are located in the USA and then they can make shipping arrangements to the customers location overseas.
