There is a wood carver here at the hotel named ‘Auhi’a whose family has carved Tikis, Turtles, necklace,  and other souvenirs.  His family carved and gave the giant Tiki to the Royal Kona that greets you as you enter the drive.     The lockout devastated his family business,  as it has many family restaurants and businesses all over the islands.   I loved this fish hook and Auhi’a personalized it with the honu, the sea turtle, his name and the year on the back.   The wood is curly koa.  I will add some more pictures later of other objects he has carved.   it will be a wonderful addition to our carved hawaiian wood articles at home.
