Aloha again TC Ohana!
Mahalo for all the kind words and aloha from everyone! Here's a few new buggah's for you all to spark...
This first carving is a "Mini Moai" pendant carved for a TC member from ancient Mammoth Ivory (NOW THEY DONT WANT IT SO ITS UP FOR SALE! CHECK THE TIKI MARKETPLACE FOR INFO!). This little guy measures 2"x1/2" and I still need to attach a nice 14 KT gold bale to the top of the head, add a Hawaiian style hand-plaited kaula then da buggah will be pau! (I think Ill add a nice top-knot to the next Moai I carve!)




This next carving is a "one-off" creation I recently designed. This makau is a Stylized version of a Hawaiian shark hook (mano makau). This one has more fluid lines than traditional Hawaiian makau and a nice paua shell inlay which makes it more "Maori" in style rather than Hawaiian. Made from Genuine Hawaiian curly Koa wood and Mammoth ivory, this buggah is on the larger side measuring 3" in length and is sealed with a beautiful oil/urethane finish...


If youre interested in the makau, check the tiki marketplace and PM me with inquiries...
Mahalo for looking!

Malama Pono!
