Tree ferns maybe rare in Hawaii but they have become very popular here as garden plants.
A good freind of mine supplies me with dead stumps when he gets ferns sent over from Tazmania from his Dads farm. Only the very top of the fern is alive so thats the only part they ship to save weight. The rest is perfect for carving, you can even carve the top part so you end up with fern coming from the tikis head.
Here's an example of one of my carvings
