Wow that is an amazing tiki! I'm glad you were able to salvage a proud old tree and turn it into a wicked new Ku! I want one! |

Good lord that is awesome! It would make my life complete to have a back yard with a monster sized traditional carving like that one. Does anyone know who carved the big tikis outside of the Polynesian Culture Center on Oahu?? |

Well, technically the Tikis outside PCC are not carved...they are made of fiber glass. His name is Tui'oni, a great master carver. |

It's big, but no detail. Why not the full headress? |

It depends on the Tiki, Tiki Ku is pretty much like this (Tiki on the right): What other details did you have in mind? Aloha, |

I cannot fathom carving something this huge. I love the comparison pictures with you in them. It just gives it so much perspective. He looks like he could very easily gobble you up. BRAVO! You truly are the master. |

Aloha Congatiki, Little update on shipping a 10-12 foot Tiki to the West Coast. It cost about $600 to your door step plus an additional $300 for making the custom crate. Mahalo, |

Aloha Kakou (Hello everyone), We now have a 18 foot log that will be cut in half for two 9-footers Tiki. It was very tempting to carve a 18 foot Tiki, but that will be for later :) Aloha, |

Tikimaster, I've been admiring your work through your site for a few years now. A question. Do you know who carved the Ki'i at Pu'uhonua O Honaunau? So many large ones, beautifully done. Your work looks on par with those. Paul |
