Going to Hawaii soon and I'm interested in bringing some local wood back
with me - monkey pod and koa, for example. Has anyone done this before?
Should I attempt to bundle some up and ship it with my luggage, or have it
shipped separate via UPS or FedEx? I'm not talking about huge quantities
here, but enough to make some boxes or similar. Regardless, the stuff is
probably heavy.....

If I could afford it, I'd have it shipped separately. Don't trust baggage
screeners. They might think "monkey pod" is "monkey pox" and burn the
package. :-) But UPS from Hawai'i might be pricey.
