Planted in 1906 as a windbreak for mango and coconut trees along the shores of Kailua Beach, Hawaii, the ironwood trees faced the relentless effects of rising tides that slowly eroded the earth and sand beneath them.

However, rather than letting these giant wood logs go to waste, they were diverted to B.C. FRaME Studio where Brian harnessed their natural beauty.
