Hawaiian silky oak is very similar to African lacewood. There’s something special about Hawaiian grown silky oak that can’t be found anywhere else.
As a tonewood silky oak has a slightly brighter top end compared to Koa.
Between 1919 and 1959, some 2.2 million Hawaiian silky oak trees were planted on all major islands except Kaho’olawe. The tree is attractive, with its lacy silver leaves and flame-like yellow-orange flowers. The silk oak was deliberately introduced to the Hawaiian islands as a source of commercial timber. It has a fine grain that makes beautiful hardwood flooring or cabinets. Silky oak is a great choice for acoustic guitars or ukuleles for any luthiers interested in trying something new.
