The vendor told me they were Koa (maybe???). She wanted $900.00 for the set. If I took that $900.00 to Oceanic Arts, Geko, C.C. Ryder Chiki Tiki or Crazy Al I could get way better Tikis. The woman said "Tikis are Hot". Whatever. I have seen many lousy Tikis that are relatively, way over priced. If your going to buy, educate yourself on what's out there. Al.
