The 2025 Hawaii’s Woodshow™ marks the 33rd anniversary of Hawai‘i’s
premier woodworking exhibition, presented by the Hawai‘i Forest
Association (HFA). This annual showcase celebrates masterful
craftsmanship, innovative design, and the unparalleled beauty of
furniture and fine woodworking created from Hawaiian-grown woods.

inspires excellence in artistry but also underscores the value of
planting and stewarding high-quality hardwoods for future generations.
