And they may very well be east coast carved. The owner of the Kona Kai told me that there was once a carver who would make his way up and down the coast every couple of years and offer his services to the various motels and businesses. I know the outdoor tikis at the Kona Kai (stolen during the winter of 1999-2000) were probably carved by this guy but I'm not sure about the tikis in the rooms (since they seem to have been in there for a much longer time). Best collection of tikis (in terms of quantity and various styles) in the Wildwoods is probably at the Hawaiian Rumble mini golf course/pancake house/ice cream parlor (!!!). But this place too seems to be on the "endangered" list... though it will be around at least for one more year.
