The draft management plan is now available online for the 1,257-acre Kapāpala Canoe Forest, the only state land designated for cultivating and providing koa for use in kālaiwaʻa, or traditional Hawaiian canoe construction.
The 1,257-acre area, also known as the Kapāpala Canoe Forest, holds special significance as it is the only state land currently designated for the purposes of cultivating and providing koa for use in kālaiwaʻa, or traditional Hawaiian canoe construction.
Commissioned by Jack Boyd Smith Jr., a long-time Rolls-Royce customer and automotive enthusiast, this unique Phantom Extended is the first Rolls-Royce in history to incorporate a rare type of wood: Acacia Koa, a species of tree that is endemic to the Hawaii Archipelago.
The newest creation of the Rolls-Royce Bespoke division took 3 years to complete given the challenges involved by the project, the strict demands of the customer and the use of a very rare, pure-essence type of wood that indigenous to and only found on the Hawaii Islands. We are talking about the Koa wood tree, that was specifically harvested from a private tree collection on the island of Maui.
