So who are we?
Ché Garcia -Founder
Originally from Oregon, USA, Ché moved to the Big Island of Hawai'i in 2003 and found work as a carpenter. Within weeks he fell in love with the islands, its native woods and a woman who would later become his wife. It was these three events that inspired the creation of a Hawaiian Koa wood inlaid wedding ring. Being an avid waterman and surf photographer, Ché spent a lot of time in the ocean and wanted a unique ring that was not only comfortable, waterproof and durable but represented his new home, love for woodwork and his Hawaiian born wife. At the time, a durable wood inlaid ring designed for daily wear in an active lifestyle did not exist. Determined to create such a ring, Ché utilized his woodworking skills and developed the rings we offer today.
After many years of business supporting environmental charities in Hawai'i and California, Ché recognized there was potential for his products to help protect native forests everywhere. In 2019, Ché moved his family to South Australia to pursue these opportunities and develop a business model to increase awareness and raise funds for native forest initiatives across the globe.

I have been buying koa wood jewelry for gifts from Woodsman for years and all of it is beautiful and always appreciated by the recipients. This year I bought myself the rose gold bracelet and it is the most beautiful piece yet! I love it, wear it often, and always get complements. Thank you for your attentive service and well-made, lovely jewelry.
Wonderful piece of jewelry.

Love the ring however it’s too big based off the sizzling chart.
I purchased this as a 5 year anniversary gift for my wife and wanted to get something with responsibly sourced Kauri wood. The quality and look were perfect
I have worked with them for years. Always a pleasure! One accurate way to measure a company is how they stand by the product. Never had a problem they didn’t promptly solve!
Love the product and love the service. Highly recommend.
