Mesquite tiki carving

This is an 18-inch tiki carved from a South Texas mesquite log. 6 lbs. 7 oz.

Hawaiian
influence via the style of Tongan tiki carvers around Maui and the
other islands, I choose as a tribute to call him Tongaboy.

He is gifted with powerful arms each adorned with tattoos, one on his left being inspired by Marquesan island imagery.

The mesquite wood has red and yellow highlights and has been finely sanded and coated multiple times with tung oil.
