I found this carving probably 4 years ago at the thift shop. It looked cool and kinda old so I bought it for a few dollars. It is signed on the bottom "Pele Paul of Hawaii" Just wondering how to tell if it was Paul Fujimoto and if any one else had any Fujimoto carvings there does not seem to be much about him on TC |

thanks 1961surf cool photos, Dogbytes helped me clear things up she has a friend who confirmed that it was a fujimoto, but was probably sold thru Blair- and signed for Paul by someone at Blair’s shop because Paul rarely signed his own work. |

From Craigslist, info claims that it is a carving of Pele that was brought from Hawaii on a merchant ship in the teens or twentys, made of Koa.

Aloha, Fujimoto, maybe... Teens or the twenties? Quite the wrong period. Koa? Quite wrong wood. $2,500? $30 bucks max for this and even that is a stretch... Caveat emptor. On Craigslist, anyone can claim anything....

Here's a recent ebay auction that ended with a best offer of $1200, original asking price was $1450.... Pele Hawaiian Goddess of Fire Vintage Koa Driftwood Carving Every incident with a volcanic eruption in Hawaii it is said to be Pele's way of expressing This vintage Hawaiian carving is in excellent condition as shown. Your Pele carving is foam packed and will ship insured with the care she deserves. It's hard to tell if its Koa, can't see the grain in the pict, but it might be marked as such on the bottom.... Paul's favorite seemed to be Milo wood... |

I snagged this incredible carved tiki from eBay last year. The listing did not even mention that it was signed "Paul of Hawaii" on the back of the base. I am assuming this is a Paul Fujimoto carving. I've mainly only seen this female face carvings so was surprised when I received him and he was marked Paul. Just thought I would share cause it's such a great carving. |
