Recently was lucky enough to get to Maui for a week or so and looked up a carver whom I had ran into before. He sets up next to a small craft fair every day. Here are some pics. He told me he finishes alot of his tikis with shoe polish.
He is a nice old guy who has been carving all his life, he looks about 70 or so.
He also carves and sells on a website...friendlyislescarving or something, I can't find it now, but I have been to the site in the past. (Getting old). Picked up another one of his tikis.
