    This is a stunning bowl with lid, created by native Hawaiian wood turner Pat Coito. Bottom signature reads “Pat Coito / Honokoa / Hawaii / Milo”

    Milo wood has an attractive grain that takes to a high polish and, in addition to food utensils and containers, was fashioned into paddles and other carved objects, as well as for an occasional canoe. Umeke la`au is the Hawai`i name for these containers or calabashes of wood, which were used for the storage, transport and serving of food in various stages of preparation.
