Kia ora ehoa,

To save you a lot of shipping costs from Aotearoa to the States there's an
excellent carver in Hawaii who is a professional carver by trade who carves
at the Polynesian Cultural Center. His name is William Mahoni of Tainui /
Tuwharetoa / Tongan descent. He's a protégé of Barney Christie who was one
of the original tauira in Pene Taiapa's wananga for carving. Here are his
contact details.
