Sorry I did not post em sooner, as with everything I do it's on Hawaiian time and since I've done little more than lurk on here for a while I thought I'd show some photos of the event. I'm sure some of you have seen one similar to this in New Zealand. Kinda reminds me of Uenukutuwhatu. These paddles and the two Tu were carved by Master Carver Sitiveni "Steven" Fe'ao Fehoko. The same guys who did the Humpback Whale last year and the fish sculpture as well. There was another tiki I did not photograph. It was a giant support Tiki carved out of some junk wood. The carver was more than a little arrogant in his response to my only question. I left without photographing his work. Hope you all like the pics. I wish I had more to share. Aloha and mahalo
