I'll look into what opportunities we have from NZ or Australia maybe we can work something into the marquetry work for the headstock.
Got you covered on Hawaii. It occurs to me that my logo on the inside back of the guitar is Koa.

Thanks Mike!

Here is a picture of the neck as I start to clean it up. I like the color match with the Bastogne which will really tighten up when they are under finish:
