Kanaka Maoli Ki'i Carving Class - Tiki Carving

Sorry for all the fishing pics, I know this is a carving forum. :) Fortunately for me, my teacher/uncle is a recognized cultural wood carver(I would say practitioner, but that could be taken the wrong way). :) He is able to get permits to harvest fallen trees. We went about a month ago and brought up 3 nice logs, 2"-4" / 16-18" diameter. He showed me 3 big Koa trees that the hurricane took down in 1991. The buggas are seasoned. No need worry about that wood cracking. Thanks again.
