The folks at Oceanic Arts carve a master, and use a duplicating device to carve copies... kind of like a giant key cutter. They can either be purchased, or homemade. The first link even shows Tikis as an example of uses for the home-built machine:

Maybe there's a woodworking shop in your area with such a machine you could use?
