The best part of these pieces, is the material story telling and imagination. Beautiful solid work.
Happy you enjoyed it 🤙

About how deep are the grooves that you place the shark teeth in I would love to make one of those one day
Depends on the size of the teeth. Enough to fit most of the root of the tooth.
@@KoaStudio so about a inch or so?
@samartcrafts_1910 if needed. I don’t have a “standard” it’s based off of what type of connection I’m doing and size of the material 🤙
how big are these pearls 11:40 i cant imagine peal big enough to be cut into that squares
Million dollar pearl! Haha no it’s not the round pearl in the center it’s mother of pearl, the inner lining of the shell itself.
@@KoaStudio oooooo i have that used in some jewelry here
Make a tewhatewha bro
i still cant belive you put real megalodon teeth there , i tought all megalodon stuff belongs to museums
There are divers that go out and hunt these almost year around. Collecting loads of them.
@@KoaStudio ooo to be a diver in sunny hawaii , what a life
Is Koa wood bendable? Are you able to shape w/ a steam box?
Not sure, never tried but I’m sure it is to some extent.
