I'm not sure if this is the right category for this because as far as i'm aware these tiki totems no longer exist, let me know if there's any kind of issue as this is my first time making a post. So I'm sure you're all aware of the fire that destroyed Lahaina in August of this year, It was a terrible thing but I have something bitter sweet to share, I visited Maui in September of last year and took some photos of a tiki carving I saw in Lahaina, it was in an alcove or hall way with multiple shops, I believe there was one on either side of the bench but unfortunately for whatever reason I only have photo's of one, I remember finding a name and looking it up to find it was carved by a somewhat famous tiki carver in the community about 20 years ago or so, but I don't remember, the photos aren't of the highest quality as I snapped them real quick with my phone, but I figured it was worthwhile to share. I'm also thinking of trying to recreate the carving somehow to sell on mugs and giving the profits to the town, I'm not sure the best way to go about this as i'm not ceramicist, but I can do stuff with 3d modeling, so if anyone has any advice or knows a way to do this please let me know. I can't seem to attach them so here's a link:
