Unfortunately he comes from a time and a place where there was no iron tools and the stone quarries that had stones heavy and hard enough to be used for adze were far away, in this case on the top of Mauna Kea volcanoe, one of the tallest mountains in the world. To a society where the pig was the largest four footed animal, and most of its inhabitants living along the coast, a trip to the quarry was a long and dangerous journey. If you only look for the obvious,that's all you'll see but if you look beyond that perhaps you'll see how the ancients saw things when they made...tiki's. So far you have seen pictures of Ku in the day...in torch light its another story. Aloha
