Thanks for your thoughts on this. Do you think this tiki was inspired by genuine Polynesian style carvings? Here's a crappy pic of my large one. Definitely not quickly hacked out but it is of the same motif.

I saw a carving just like this on Kauai. It was in a re-creation of a traditional river village. I know it was kinda touristy, but if the statue was fake, that would be really depressing. I have a picture of it somewhere...
