Benjamin.

This fellow is Tongan and resides in Hawaii. His work is the stereotypical example of Tongan copying Hawaiian gods for tourist. They have their own unique style but it's very hard to distinguish one Tongan carvers work from another. Especially when it comes to the tourist staple(Tikis).

He does a great job at what he does and is productive with his family carving as his apprentices.
