LeiManu Designs
LeiManu Designs - Handcrafted Lighting and Accessories for your Polynesian Lifestyle. In 1967 Malama Torches(TM) began lighting the Hawaiian night on the grounds of the gracious Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. The unique torches, designed by Native Hawaiian artist Donald Namohala Yuen, soon were requested by discriminating businesses and homeowners throughout Hawai`i. The torches were sold through The Gas Company, which continues to be one of the top Malama Torch(TM) dealers in Hawai`i.

Ron Pohaku Hawaiian Handmade Crafts
My art is created from the pod of Kauai's coconut palm trees. The pod (sheath) holds the seed and baby coconuts. Once the pod opens, the coconuts and flower come out and continue to grow. From time to time, as the coconuts are almost ready to drop, "cutters" will trim the coconuts down. It is from this cutting that I am able to retrieve the pod. For the outriggers, I make the sails out of many different types of fabric. It is my goal to make them as "authentically" as possible. I offer a mulberry tree fabric called "Tapa", which is what the ancients used to make sails and clothing. The masts and long arm are made out of bamboo. The short arms and paddle come from the pod itself. Another attempt at tradition is the use of "sennit" rope (woven coconut fibers). The process to make this rope is time consuming, but makes a strong, waterproof rope.
