It is said that carving a Tiki or Totem is bad luck if you're not a native or authentic member of some particular culture. However, our research also uncovers that what it takes to carve a Tiki or Totem is an understanding of the form and personality of the creature or God that is represented.

Anyone artistic with an understanding of basic anatomy, culture, and nature can represent themselves through a Totem or Tiki. Hawaiian War Gods, Aztec & Mayan statues, Alaskan Totems, Native American, Egyptian themes, etc. are all common themes for carvers around the world. To us, one carver's respect for the art form, the skill, and the creative soul required to develop these unique pieces pays homage to those of the past and the origin of the cultures that inspire them.
