HIH Story - Our Roots Hawaii Island Wood Story

Hawaii Island Hardwoods LLC (HIH) emphasizes quality, service, consistency of supply and, most of all, locally grown woods.

• Koa - Acacia Koa • Toona Ciliata - Australian Red Cedar • Eucalyptus Robusta • Eucalyptus Saligna • Tropical Ash • Queensland Maple • Nepal Alder

Our primary mill site is Kea’au near Hilo. At this site we have installed our first dry kiln and other processing facilities. Our kiln began operation in June, 2008. It utilizes solar energy to heat water which is then circulated through heat exchangers to raise the air temperature in and through the drying chamber. A back up propane burner can be used, if necessary, to achieve higher temperature drying.
