RAZZ!

The majority of these are from the Oceanic Arts catalog. Made in Whittier, CA. Just to clarify: I was not suggesting with the above that these carvings are NOT from the Hawaiian Hut. I believe they are, they do look 60s/70s vintage. I was merely pointing out that (together with the Tahitian/Marquesan tourist carvings that Spence Weaver decorated his places with) there was a good number of imported O.A.-made pieces that decorated his and many other Waikikian Tiki temples. My favorite location for O.A. decor was the Bishop Museum cafeteria. :)

Like it was never there... Fortunately, I have pictures to prove the opposite. Waikiki Tiki; Art, History, and Photographs. Available now from Bess Press Hawaii.

They wanted a couple hundred for the center Moari Tiki and one of the side ones. The center one looked pretty weathered and possible termite damage/wood rot...looks like a piece broke off awhile ago.
