Hand-Carved Wooden Sea Turtle · 12" Honu

Bring a piece of Maui's ocean home.

Hand-carved from Monkeypod wood — known as Suar wood by the artisans in Bali who shape each one — this 12-inch sea turtle is the largest in our collection. At a full foot long, this is a gallery-quality piece — the kind of carving that stops people in their tracks and starts a conversation.

The honu (sea turtle) is a sacred symbol of good luck, endurance, and long life in Hawaiian culture. At 12 inches, this carving makes a bold statement on a mantle, entryway table, or as the centerpiece of any room. The scale allows the artisan's finest work to come through — deep, detailed shell plates, graceful flippers, and expressive features you can study up close.

Each turtle is hand-finished with a natural wood polish that deepens the rich tones and highlights the unique grain of the Monkeypod. The result is a smooth, warm feel with a subtle glow.

A showpiece gift for anyone who loves Maui, the ocean, or exceptional craftsmanship.
