Don't quit the day job! But you should still go for road side carving! Maybe the market isn't flooded there like in Cali so who knows? Don't be put off by the lowballers, but don't charge too much. Moving, finding and storing logs is the worst part of carving. It's fun at first but when you need the logs they're the hardest to find.Even if you have 6 tikis roadside you'll still need to sell the idea of escape. A palm frawnhat a thatched umbrella or better yet a hut.

And if you haven't carved before, don't copy anybody elses tikis. Look at vintage or even Oceanic art history books for the best grounding!
